Why exchange Lido DAO (LDO) to Zcash (ZEC)?
Swap LDO 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 LDO/ZEC exchange rate, the network fee and the swap fee are shown before you send a single LDO. The ZEC amount quoted is the ZEC amount you get.
Nothing is asked of you beyond a Zcash address. Send the exact LDO figure shown on your swap page, including every decimal place — a rounded amount needs manual review and takes longer.
Sending Lido DAO
Lido is the largest liquid-staking protocol. LDO is its ERC-20 governance token.
Lido DAO blocks arrive about 12 seconds, so a deposit usually confirms in a few minutes.
Your LDO deposit is verified on the Ethereum (ERC-20) network before the swap proceeds — typically a few minutes after you send.
Send LDO on Ethereum mainnet as an ERC-20 token.
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.

Lido DAO (LDO) to Zcash (ZEC) FAQ
- What does the LDO to ZEC rate mean?
- It is how much Zcash (ZEC) you receive for each Lido DAO (LDO) 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 LDO to ZEC?
- Enter the amount of LDO in the widget, choose ZEC as what you receive, and give a Zcash address. You are shown a deposit address and an exact LDO 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 LDO 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 LDO/ZEC exchange amount?
- $100 worth, shown in the widget as an amount of LDO 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 LDO 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 LDO to ZEC swaps take?
- Lido DAO deposits usually confirm in a few minutes, 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 LDO 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 LDO. 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 LDO for ZEC private?
- Your LDO deposit is visible on the Lido DAO ledger like any LDO 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.
