Why people swap DOT to ZEC.
Interoperability and privacy. Swap DOT for ZEC to access the privacy features of Zcash while retaining the utility and ecosystem of Polkadot. Zcash's zk-SNARK technology offers optional privacy, ideal for regulatory environments where transparency is required but confidentiality is still important.
Building custom blockchains. Developers can leverage Substrate, Polkadot's framework, to build custom blockchains on Zcash's infrastructure. This allows for creating tailored solutions with the security and performance benefits of both networks.
Participating in on-chain governance. Swap DOT to ZEC to participate in Zcash's OpenGov on-chain governance system, enabling you to influence decisions directly through your DOT holdings.
Exploring new applications. With the growing ecosystem of Polkadot, you can explore new applications built on Zcash's technology, such as private transactions and academic research using zk-SNARKs.

Questions people ask.

03 Which DOT networks are supported?
SwapHub supports DOT on the Polkadot Relay Chain and various parachains such as Acala, Moonbeam, and Astar. The actual network used is determined by your source wallet and is highlighted automatically based on the lowest fees.
04 What is the minimum and maximum amount?
Minimums vary by pair and are shown before you confirm — typically around $10–$20 equivalent. There's no hard maximum — larger orders may be split across providers automatically for the best rate.
05 Float rate vs Fixed rate — which should I pick?
Float gives you the best available rate at the moment your deposit arrives (usually a slightly better number, subject to movement). Fixed locks the rate when you create the order, costing about 0.4% extra — worth it for large amounts or when the market is moving fast.
06 Is there a fee on top of the exchange rate?
SwapHub charges no extra fee on top of the displayed rate — our margin is already included in what you see. You'll also pay the network fee for ZEC and the typical DOT network fee range of $0.01-$0.10.
07 What happens if I send the wrong amount?
If you send less than the minimum, the order pauses and you can add a top-up. If you send more than the estimate, you'll automatically receive the extra ZEC at the locked rate. Sending a different coin to the DOT address is recoverable but requires contacting support.
