Before you send ZEC: checklist
- 1.Destination address format: 0x… (42 characters) — an ordinary Ethereum wallet address.
- 2.Network: send ZEC on Zcash only. You receive USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20).
- 3.Amount: within the limits shown above; send exactly the amount the form displays. If your exchange deducts a withdrawal fee, enter the amount that will actually arrive.
- 4.Refund address: add a ZEC address you control — it is where funds go if the deposit arrives outside the limits or the swap cannot complete.
- 5.After receiving: moving USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) needs a little ETH in the same wallet for fees.
- 6.Tracking: the status page shows every stage; the deposit can be watched on blockchair.com and the payout on etherscan.io.
When people swap ZEC to USDT
- •Cashing out ZEC into a stablecoin without an exchange account.
- •Funding an Ethereum wallet with dollars for DeFi from Zcash holdings.
- •Locking in a dollar value on ZEC quickly.
Privacy: what is and isn't hidden
Deposits are sent to a transparent Zcash address. If your ZEC is in the shielded pool, your wallet deshields it as part of the send; that transaction reveals the amount leaving the pool but not its history inside it. USDT on Ethereum is fully public.

Why swap Zcash to Tether on Ethereum here
About Zcash and Tether
Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-capable cryptocurrency that pioneered zero-knowledge proofs in production. It launched in October 2016 as a fork of the Bitcoin codebase with the same 21 million cap and halving schedule, but added shielded transactions: payments whose sender, receiver and amount are hidden by a zk-SNARK proof while the network still verifies that no coins were created out of thin air.
More about Zcash →Tether (USDT) is the largest stablecoin by supply and trading volume, issued by Tether Limited against a reserve of cash equivalents and other assets, and designed to stay at one US dollar. It exists as a token on many blockchains at once: the same USDT can be held on TRON (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), TON, Solana and others, and the networks are not interchangeable — USDT sent on the wrong network is not credited.
