Swap Zcash (ZEC) to USD Coin (USDC)
Selling ZEC for USDC fixes the dollar value of what you hold: once the swap settles, the next move in ZEC no longer changes it. Selling bridged ZEC takes the bridge out of your risks along with the price exposure; neither this swap nor the USDC you receive is private.

How to swap ZEC to USDC
- 1
Connect a wallet holding ZEC
Connect Phantom, Solflare or Backpack in the swap panel; the wallet also needs a little SOL for the network fee, even though you are paying in ZEC.
- 2
Check the ZEC you are selling
The panel sells the ZEC at mint A7bd…QXaS for USDC; if the ZEC in your wallet shows a different address, it is not the token this page trades.
- 3
Size the ZEC side
Enter the ZEC amount and read the quote: it shows how much USDC you receive and the price impact of the route before anything is committed.
- 4
Sign, and receive USDC
Approve the ZEC swap and the USDC lands in the same wallet in about a second, with no deposit address and nothing to withdraw.
How deep the ZEC/USDC market is
The figure above is the mid-market rate. What you receive depends on the size of your order: a swap large relative to the pool moves the price as it executes, which is the price impact shown in the quote. Jupiter reduces this by splitting an order across several venues, but it never disappears.
Beyond price impact, a ZEC-to-USDC swap costs the Solana network fee and the Privacc fee, both already inside the quote. Full fee breakdown
What moves the ZEC/USDC rate
Against USDC, this rate is simply the dollar price of ZEC, so whatever moves ZEC moves it one for one.
Which network is your USDC on?
USDC exists on several networks: Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20), BNB Chain (BEP-20), Arbitrum, Base and Solana. They are separate tokens that share a name, and a Solana wallet can only hold the Solana one. This page is the Solana pair.
If your USDC is on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base or Polygon, you do not need an exchange to bring it over: choose that network above the swap panel, set Solana as the destination, and LI.FI bridges and swaps it in one route. Tron is the exception. TRC-20 USDC is not supported here and has to come through an exchange.

ZEC to USDC questions
How much USDC do I get for 1 ZEC?
The swap panel quotes the live rate as soon as you enter an amount of ZEC. The USDC you receive reflects the price impact of your order size and the fee, both shown before you sign.
Why sell ZEC for USDC rather than SOL?
USDC holds its dollar value and SOL does not, so selling ZEC for it fixes what the position is worth today. Selling for SOL would keep you exposed to the Solana market.
Do I need SOL to swap ZEC to USDC?
Yes, a small amount for the network fee, even though neither ZEC nor USDC is SOL.
