How the ADA to ZEC route works
This route spans two networks: ADA leaves your wallet on Cardano and ZEC settles on Zcash. NativeSwap routes it natively, so no centralized bridge sits in the middle and you do not receive a wrapped token.
- You send
- ADA is the native coin of Cardano. You sign the transaction on Cardano, so that network's gas fee applies.
- You receive
- ZEC is the native coin of Zcash. Zcash arrives at an address you control on Zcash.
Cardano settles on Cardano; Zcash settles on Zcash. You pay network gas on Cardano plus a service fee of roughly 10-15 basis points; swaps under $10 have no service fee. Settlement time depends on how quickly each network confirms, and an estimate is shown before you confirm.
