How to Swap ZEC to DOT on SecureShift
- Choose the pair. Select ZEC in the “You send” field and DOT in the “You get” field, then enter the amount of ZEC you want to swap. The estimated DOT payout updates in real time.
- Pick a rate type. A floating rate follows the market and is usually slightly better; a fixed rate locks your DOT amount for the duration of the swap so price swings cannot affect it.

- Send your ZEC. SecureShift generates a one-time Zcash deposit address. Send the exact amount from your wallet.
- Receive DOT. After the required network confirmations, the swap is executed and DOT is sent to your wallet. Track every step on the order page and in a block explorer.
What Is Zcash (ZEC)?

SecureShift supports ZEC on its native Zcash network, so you send and receive it with a regular ZEC wallet address. Privacy-focused assets are popular with users who want to keep their financial activity out of public view.
What Is Polkadot (DOT)?
Polkadot (DOT) is the native coin of Polkadot, a multi-chain network that connects specialised parachains. SecureShift supports DOT on its native Polkadot network, so you send and receive it with a regular DOT wallet address.

No. You can swap ZEC to DOT without registering and without identity verification. All you need is a Polkadot wallet address to receive your funds.
The SecureShift fee and the Polkadot network payout fee are already included in the rate shown before you confirm. The only extra cost is the network fee your own wallet charges to send ZEC.
A fixed rate locks the amount of DOT you will receive for the duration of the order, protecting you from price moves. A floating rate follows the market until your deposit is confirmed and is usually slightly better, but the final amount can change a little.
If you send more or less ZEC than requested on a floating-rate order, the swap is recalculated at the current rate. On a fixed-rate order, a different amount may be recalculated or refunded to your refund address. Contact support with your order ID if you need help.
