Swapping Zcash for Dash: what you need to know
Exchanging ZEC for DASH is useful when you rebalance a portfolio or want to move from one network to another without buying stablecoins in between. At ROVEN exchange the coins are swapped directly, and the rate is locked when you create the order.
Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency with optional privacy based on zero-knowledge proofs. Dash (DASH) is “digital cash” with masternodes and instant InstantSend payment locking.
Why swap ZEC for DASH
Shifting between ZEC and DASH is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. Dash was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send ZEC | You receive DASH | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Zcash | Dash |
| Address | “t1…” or “t3…” | “X…” or “7…” |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 75 seconds | InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send ZEC from a transparent address, or move it out of the shielded pool in advance.
- A Dash address starts with “X”; don’t confuse it with Bitcoin or Litecoin addresses.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send ZEC within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Zcash, a block comes roughly every 75 seconds; on Dash, InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds. The whole ZEC to DASH swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
