How to convert USD Coin to Zcash
- Connect any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby that holds your USDC, or turn on Swap from external wallet to pay to a deposit address from any wallet or exchange.
- Enter how much USDC 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 USDC is refunded.
About the USDC → ZEC swap
USDC 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 USDC 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.

What to know before swapping USD Coin 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.

1 USDC ≈ 0.0008249 ZEC at current market prices ($0.9998 per USDC, $1,212 per ZEC).
In our latest measurement a USDC → ZEC swap cost 0.11% at $1k, 0.06% at $10k, 0.25% at $100k and 2.06% at $1M below the market price, and the largest single swap was up to $627k with under 1% price impact ($1.3M under 10%). 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 $1M USDC → ZEC swap gave up 2.06% 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.
