In shortTo swap Zcash (ZEC) to Monero (XMR) without KYC, enter the amount, paste your XMR address and send your ZEC to the one-time deposit address. AltoSwap compares 20+ exchanges for this pair, keeps the no-KYC ones by default and picks one of the best rates for you. No account, email or ID is needed.
Rates come from live exchange quotes and refresh automatically. Page content reviewed by the AltoSwap team on . How we produce and check these pages.
Monero is a privacy coin, which makes ZEC to XMR one of the most common privacy swaps. The exchange receives a public ZEC transaction and pays you XMR; from then on, what you do with that XMR is shielded by Monero's own protocol rather than by any promise from an intermediary.
Your XMR is paid on Monero. Use an address that starts with 4 or 8.
Type how much ZEC you want to swap (minimum about 0.0267 ZEC). The XMR you will receive updates live.
A top no-KYC rate is already chosen for you. The form shows what you receive, how long it usually takes and the KYC rating of the route.
Paste the Monero address where you want to be paid. A refund address for your ZEC is optional but recommended.
Send the exact amount to the deposit address on Zcash. After it confirms (about 10-20 minutes), the XMR is sent to your address.

Enter the ZEC amount on this page, paste your XMR address and send your ZEC 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 XMR is paid directly to your wallet.
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 ZEC to XMR rate for the amount you enter.
The minimum is about 0.0267 ZEC and the maximum about 8,330 ZEC. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your ZEC deposit to confirm on Zcash, which takes about 10-20 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Your ZEC deposit is a public transaction on Zcash, but once you hold XMR its transactions hide sender, receiver and amount by design.
Your XMR is paid on Monero. Use an address that starts with 4 or 8. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Monero 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 Zcash network fee to send the deposit.
Yes. The reverse direction, XMR to ZEC, 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.
