What to know about Monero and Zcash

Monero (XMR)

Monero (XMR) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency launched in April 2014 as a fork of Bytecoin, built on the CryptoNote protocol. It is developed by an open community without a company or pre-mine behind it.

Sending and receiving XMR

Main Monero addresses start with 4, subaddresses with 8; they are much longer than Bitcoin addresses. Received funds become spendable after 10 confirmations (about 20 minutes). Fees are low and do not depend on the amount.

Zcash (ZEC)

Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2016 by the team led by Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn. It was the first widely used coin to apply zero-knowledge proofs, allowing transactions that are verified without revealing their details.

How Zcash works

Zcash has two kinds of addresses: transparent ones, which work like Bitcoin, and shielded ones, where the sender, recipient and amount are encrypted with zk-SNARK proofs. Blocks are produced about every 75 seconds with Proof of Work (Equihash), and the supply is capped at 21 million.

How to exchange Monero to Zcash

  1. Enter the XMR amount in the calculator (minimum 0.350613 XMR) and click “Go to exchange”.
  2. Enter your ZEC wallet address on the Zcash network and your contact details.
  3. Send exactly the specified amount of XMR on the Monero network to the details shown in the order.
  4. Once the transfer is confirmed, Zcash is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.

Exchange XMR to ZEC

What to check before exchanging XMR to ZEC

  • The recipient address must be on the Zcash network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
  • The amount sent must be at least 0.350613 XMR.
  • Copy the whole address and check the first and last characters after pasting.
  • Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
