Why exchange Algorand (ALGO) to Zcash (ZEC)?
Swap ALGO to ZEC and give a unified (u1…) Zcash address: the payout lands in the shielded pool, where the amount and address are encrypted on-chain.
The ALGO/ZEC exchange rate, the network fee and the swap fee are shown before you send a single ALGO. The ZEC amount quoted is the ZEC amount you get.
Nothing is asked of you beyond a Zcash address. Send the exact ALGO figure shown on your swap page, including every decimal place — a rounded amount needs manual review and takes longer.
Sending Algorand
Algorand is a pure proof-of-stake layer-1 with instant finality and low fees.
Algorand blocks arrive under 3 seconds, with instant finality, so a deposit usually confirms in under a minute.
Your ALGO deposit is verified on the Algorand network before the swap proceeds — typically under a minute after you send.
Send ALGO on the Algorand network.
Receiving Zcash
Zcash is a proof-of-work chain that pioneered zero-knowledge (zk-SNARK) shielded transactions: the sender, receiver and amount of a shielded transfer are encrypted on-chain.
Your Zcash goes to the address you give, and only that address. Accepted formats: transparent addresses start with t1 or t3; unified (shielded-capable) addresses start with u1.
Give a unified (u1…) address to receive into the shielded pool, or a transparent (t1…) address if your wallet does not support shielded receiving.
The payout is sent once your deposit is confirmed. Zcash blocks arrive about 75 seconds, so it is usually spendable within minutes of being sent.

Algorand (ALGO) to Zcash (ZEC) FAQ
- What does the ALGO to ZEC rate mean?
- It is how much Zcash (ZEC) you receive for each Algorand (ALGO) you send, taken from live market prices at the moment you ask for a quote. The rate moves with the market, so you have 90 seconds to accept a quote and create the swap; the widget refreshes it automatically if you take longer. Funding the swap once it exists has its own separate deadline, shown on your swap page.
- How do I convert ALGO to ZEC?
- Enter the amount of ALGO in the widget, choose ZEC as what you receive, and give a Zcash address. You are shown a deposit address and an exact ALGO amount; send that amount and the ZEC is paid to your address once the deposit confirms. No account is needed at any step.
- What are the fees to exchange ALGO for ZEC?
- Two, both shown in the quote before you send: a swap fee of 0.5% of the amount, and a network-fee charge for the Zcash payout transaction. There is nothing added afterwards — the ZEC amount in the quote is the ZEC amount that arrives.
- What is the minimum ALGO/ZEC exchange amount?
- $100 worth, shown in the widget as an amount of ALGO at the current rate. There is no maximum imposed by the site beyond available Zcash liquidity, and no verification at any size.
- Do I need an ID to swap ALGO to ZEC?
- No. There is no KYC, no account and no email required. A swap is identified by its link, which shows its status without logging in. Creating an account is optional and only keeps your swap history in one place.
- How long do ALGO to ZEC swaps take?
- Algorand deposits usually confirm in under a minute, after which the deposit is verified on-chain. Swap times vary by asset and by how quickly its network confirms. Your swap status page shows the current stage throughout the process.
- Which Zcash address should I give?
- Any address in a format Zcash accepts: transparent addresses start with t1 or t3; unified (shielded-capable) addresses start with u1. Give a unified (u1…) address to receive into the shielded pool, or a transparent (t1…) address if your wallet does not support shielded receiving.
- What happens if my ALGO deposit is late or the swap expires?
- There are two separate deadlines. The quote itself is held for 90 seconds — that is how long you have to accept the price and create the swap. Once the swap exists you get a separate funding window, shown on your swap page, to send the ALGO. If your deposit arrives after that window closes, the status page shows Expired and the swap moves to Review required; it is then completed at the current rate or refunded to your refund address. Nothing is lost by being late — a late deposit just needs review before it is processed.
- Is exchanging ALGO for ZEC private?
- Your ALGO deposit is visible on the Algorand ledger like any ALGO transaction. Give a unified (u1…) address and the Zcash payout enters the shielded pool, where its amount and destination are encrypted on-chain. We store only what a swap needs — amounts, transaction ids and the address you gave.
