How the ZEC to ADA route works
This route spans two networks: ZEC leaves your wallet on Zcash and ADA settles on Cardano. NativeSwap routes it natively, so no centralized bridge sits in the middle and you do not receive a wrapped token.
- You send
- ZEC is the native coin of Zcash. You sign the transaction on Zcash, so that network's gas fee applies.
- You receive
- ADA is the native coin of Cardano. Cardano arrives at an address you control on Cardano.
Zcash settles on Zcash; Cardano settles on Cardano. You pay network gas on Zcash 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.
