What to know about Zcash and Ethereum

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.

Sending and receiving ZEC

Transparent addresses start with t1, while unified and shielded addresses start with u1 or zs. Many exchanges accept only transparent addresses, so check which type the recipient supports before sending.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is a programmable blockchain proposed by Vitalik Buterin and launched in 2015. Its native coin, ETH, pays for computation on the network. Thousands of tokens, stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols and NFT collections run on Ethereum.

How Ethereum works

Since September 2022 Ethereum has used Proof of Stake: validators lock ETH to propose and confirm blocks, with a new slot every 12 seconds. Smart contracts run in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Part of every transaction fee is burned, so the net supply depends on network activity.

Optimism network

Optimism is an Ethereum layer-2 network. Addresses use the Ethereum format and fees are paid in ETH at a fraction of mainnet cost.

How to exchange Zcash to Ethereum

Enter the ZEC amount in the calculator (minimum 0.134235 ZEC) and click “Go to exchange”.
Enter your ETH wallet address on the Optimism network and your contact details.
