Swap DAI to ZEC

Exchange DAI from Ethereum into ZEC on Zcash. The provider waits for the DAI deposit before arranging the ZEC payout on the destination network. Track those as separate transactions rather than using a sending-chain confirmation as proof of receipt.

Dai (ERC20) to Zcash (Transparent)

You send
Dai (ERC20)DAI · ERC20
You receive
Zcash (Transparent)ZEC · Mainnet

Enter your amount to check live availability for DAI on ERC20 → ZEC on Mainnet. A provider quote is required before you can create a swap.

Address and network checks

Use the order’s Ethereum deposit address for DAI, and your own Zcash receiving address for ZEC. Keep the refund address on Ethereum; the payout address is not automatically a valid refund destination.

Sending DAI

Choose Ethereum mainnet in the wallet. Base, Arbitrum and OP Mainnet use separate balances even when the account address looks identical. DAI and USDS have separate token identities. Send DAI for a DAI order; holding or using an upgraded token does not make it interchangeable with this deposit asset.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Ethereum, allow for network fees in ETH, separately from your DAI balance. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving ZEC

Choose Zcash using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. Use the transparent address type accepted by the selected provider. Do not assume a shielded-only address is compatible with this transparent route. This listed ZEC/Mainnet option has no separate memo field. If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

Refund address for this pair

Enter a refund address that accepts DAI on ERC20. The refund is sent in DAI on ERC20; verify that your refund wallet supports this exact asset and network.

About this DAI / ZEC route

Can I swap DAI on ERC20 to ZEC on Mainnet?

Which network fee applies when sending DAI?

For a standard self-custody transfer on Ethereum, allow for network fees in ETH, separately from your DAI balance. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

What should I check before receiving ZEC on Zcash?

Use the transparent address type accepted by the selected provider. Do not assume a shielded-only address is compatible with this transparent route.

If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

How much ZEC will I get for DAI?

Enter your DAI amount to see an approximate receive amount. Click Find the best route to compare providers. Floating rates can change before conversion; fixed quotes follow the selected provider’s terms.

Does a confirmed DAI deposit mean my ZEC has arrived?

No. Deposit confirmation on Ethereum, provider processing and payout on Zcash are separate steps. Use Track swap to see the order status, then check the ZEC balance on the receiving network. A live quote or historical route check does not guarantee completion time.
