How OP to ZEC is routed right now

You pay your wallet's own network fee to send OP on OP Mainnet. The network fee for paying out ZEC on Zcash is already included in the rate.
OP to ZEC at a glance
Zcash is a privacy coin, which makes OP to ZEC one of the most common privacy swaps. The exchange receives a public OP transaction and pays you ZEC; from then on, what you do with that ZEC is shielded by Zcash's own protocol rather than by any promise from an intermediary.
Your ZEC is paid on Zcash. Use an address that is a transparent t-address (unified addresses are not supported).

OP to ZEC: questions and answers
How do I swap OP to ZEC without KYC?
Enter the OP amount on this page, paste your ZEC address and send your OP to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The ZEC is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the OP to ZEC exchange rate?
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current OP to ZEC rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for OP to ZEC?
The minimum is about 16.1 OP and the maximum about 5,027,177 OP. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a OP to ZEC swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your OP deposit to confirm on OP Mainnet, which takes about a minute. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping OP to ZEC anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Your OP deposit is a public transaction on OP Mainnet, but once you hold ZEC its transactions hide sender, receiver and amount by design.
Which ZEC address should I use?
Your ZEC is paid on Zcash. Use an address that is a transparent t-address (unified addresses are not supported). Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the OP to ZEC rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Zcash network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own OP Mainnet network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap ZEC back to OP?
Yes. The reverse direction, ZEC to OP, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
