Swap AVAX to ZEC in three steps without creating an account. You see an estimated amount before you send, the exchange runs automatically once your deposit confirms, and the ZEC goes straight to the wallet address you enter.
Enter the amount of Avalanche you want to swap in the widget above. It shows an estimate of the Zcash you will receive on the Zcash network at the current floating rate, with the payout network fee already taken into account.
Paste your ZEC wallet address and check it twice, because blockchain transfers cannot be reversed. If the coin needs a memo or destination tag, a field for it appears. xswap.to never asks for your private keys.
Confirm the order and send your AVAX to the one-time deposit address on the Avalanche X-Chain network. Once the deposit confirms, the swap runs automatically and the ZEC is sent to your wallet. The order page shows every stage.
Swapping Avalanche (AVAX) for Zcash (ZEC) here takes one transfer from your wallet: no exchange account, no balance to deposit and no withdrawal queue. You choose the receiving address, and the ZEC goes there once the swap completes.
Rates are floating, so the amount shown is an estimate that can shift slightly while your Avalanche deposit confirms on Avalanche X-Chain. The payout is sent on Zcash, so check that your Zcash address belongs to that network before you confirm.
Refreshed hourly. The widget shows the live estimate.
1 AVAX

--- ZEC
At the latest hourly update, 1 AVAX converts to about --- ZEC. The figure comes from the floating rate and already allows for the payout network fee. Rates move, so the widget recalculates the estimate when you enter your own amount, and no account or registration is needed to swap.

As of Nov 4, 2026 14:54 UTC, 1 AVAX is worth about $8.16 and 1 ZEC about $1,281.11. These figures move with the market, and the widget shows the live estimate before you confirm.
One order moves native AVAX from your Avalanche X-Chain wallet into Zcash (ZEC) at a Zcash address you hold, with no signup. People pick this AVAX to ZEC exchange mainly for optional privacy. Once the coins are in a Zcash wallet, you can move them into the shielded pool, where zero-knowledge proofs keep later payments private, while every X-Chain transfer stays visible on public explorers.
Zcash is a proof-of-work coin built on Bitcoin's codebase, with zk-SNARK proofs that hide sender, receiver and amount for shielded transactions. Blocks arrive about every 75 seconds. Transparent addresses start with t1 or t3 and behave much like Bitcoin, while shielded and unified addresses start with zs or u1. Your deposit side is the X-Chain, where AVAX uses X-avax1 addresses. Two separate networks carry the deposit and the payout, and no memo is needed on either.
Every quote is a floating-rate estimate, and the Zcash network fee for your payout is taken out before it is shown. The ZEC you finally get can move a little if prices shift before the AVAX deposit confirms. Avalanche finality takes seconds and Zcash adds a block about every 75 seconds, so neither chain involves a long block wait. Watch progress on the order page, which also gives the transaction ID you can search on a Zcash block explorer.

That depends on what the address field accepts when you create the order. A transparent t1 address is the most widely supported format for exchange payouts, so it is the safe choice. Many Zcash wallets offer a shielding step that moves transparent funds into the shielded pool afterwards.
A payout to a transparent address is public, like a Bitcoin transaction, and your AVAX deposit is public on the X-Chain too. Privacy starts once you move the ZEC into the shielded pool. After that, shielded transfers hide sender, receiver and amount.
Zcash targets one block about every 75 seconds, so the payout is normally mined soon after it is broadcast. Before that, your X-Chain deposit has to confirm and be exchanged, and Avalanche finalizes its part quickly. The order page shows each stage.
The X-Chain, because this page lists native AVAX there and creates an X-Chain deposit address. If your AVAX is on the C-Chain in MetaMask, pick Avalanche (C-Chain) in the coin selector, which gives a 0x deposit address instead.
Pricing on this pair is floating, so AVAX and ZEC price moves count until your deposit has been credited and exchanged. A shift in that window nudges the payout slightly in either direction. The Zcash network fee for sending the payout is already reflected in the estimate.
Write to @xswap_to on Telegram with the order link or your AVAX transaction ID. Before that, check the order status, since a deposit sent from the wrong Avalanche chain will not show up as received.
