How to convert Zcash to Tether
- Connect a Zcash wallet that holds your ZEC, or turn on Swap from external wallet to pay to a deposit address from any wallet or exchange.
- Enter how much ZEC to swap and the Ethereum address that receives the USDT, from any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby.
- Confirm. Once the deposit confirms on Zcash, the USDT is sent to your address on Ethereum; if the swap can't be filled, the ZEC is refunded.
About the ZEC → USDT swap
ZEC is sent on Zcash and USDT arrives on Ethereum, so this swap also changes network. You pay ZEC gas on Zcash for the deposit and nothing on Ethereum to receive, though you will need some ETH there later to move the USDT.
Swapping ZEC to USDT converts a volatile asset into a dollar-pegged stablecoin, a common way to lock in a price or step out of market swings without off-ramping to a bank account.

ZEC to USDT: frequently asked questions
What to know before swapping Zcash for Tether
USDT is sent on Ethereum, so you need any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby. Use an address you control; if you send to an exchange, check that it accepts USDT on Ethereum, as some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.
NEAR Intents' latest quote estimated about 8 minutes for this route. Slower source chains take longer because the deposit needs more confirmations.
1 ZEC ≈ 1,211 USDT at current market prices ($1,210 per ZEC, $0.9993 per USDT).
In our latest measurement a ZEC → USDT swap cost 0.17% at $1k, 0.33% at $10k and 0.39% at $100k below the market price, and the largest single swap was up to $115k with under 1% price impact. 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 ZEC → USDT swap gave up 0.39% 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.
