How to convert Dai to Zcash
- Connect any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby that holds your DAI, or turn on Swap from external wallet to pay to a deposit address from any wallet or exchange.
- Enter how much DAI to swap and the Zcash address that receives the ZEC, from a Zcash wallet.
- Confirm. Once the deposit confirms on Ethereum, the ZEC is sent to your address on Zcash; if the swap can't be filled, the DAI is refunded.
About the DAI → ZEC swap
DAI is sent on Ethereum and ZEC arrives on Zcash, so this swap also changes network. You pay ETH gas on Ethereum for the deposit and nothing on Zcash to receive, though the ZEC you receive also pays for transactions there.
Swapping DAI to ZEC is how you buy Zcash with US dollars you already hold on-chain: you pay in a stablecoin and receive ZEC directly on Zcash.

DAI to ZEC: frequently asked questions
What to know before swapping Dai for Zcash
ZEC is sent on Zcash, so you need a Zcash wallet. Use an address you control; if you send to an exchange, check that it accepts ZEC on Zcash, as some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.
The swap itself settles in seconds once your DAI deposit is confirmed on Ethereum. Total time depends mostly on how many confirmations Ethereum needs for the deposit, plus the withdrawal to Zcash.
1 DAI ≈ 0.0008093 ZEC at current market prices ($1 per DAI, $1,236 per ZEC).
NEAR Intents measures each side against USDC. Selling DAI cost 0.23% at $1k, 0.23% at $10k and 0.35% at $100k, and buying ZEC cost 0.12% at $1k, 0.12% at $10k and 0.11% at $100k below the market price in our latest measurement. That is price impact only: the app fee, withdrawal fee and network gas come on top, and the widget's quote includes all but the gas.
No. Price impact is how far below the market price your quote is because of its size: a bigger swap goes deeper into solvers' liquidity. It is already in the amount the widget shows; a $100k DAI → USDC swap gave up 0.35% in our latest measurement. Slippage is how much the result may still move between that quote and the moment the swap settles. The widget accepts up to 1% by default (Max slippage in its settings): the minimum you receive is the quote minus 1%, and if solvers can't deliver at least that, the swap doesn't happen and your funds are refunded.
