Connect an EVM wallet
Use RainbowKit to choose a supported browser or mobile wallet, then select Ethereum Mainnet. ZDEX reads only the account address needed to prepare the transaction.

How ZDEX works
ZDEX coordinates a non-custodial route; it does not become your wallet or hold an internal balance.

One route, six verifiable steps
You confirm every wallet action. ZDEX coordinates quote validation and settlement status without holding your keys or an internal balance.
- Enter
Enter the USDT amount and Zcash address
Set the amount and enter a Zcash Mainnet transparent t1/t3 address. Unified and shielded addresses are not supported in phase one.
Verify the complete destination before continuing - Route
Receive a live quote and server validation
An available provider returns expected output, minimum output, fees, and expiry. The server then revalidates the amount, address, wallet, and privacy policy.
Provider availability and quote expiry are checked - Review
Review output, fees, and privacy
Check expected and minimum output, provider and network costs, and the transparent-address disclosure.
Provider and network costs are included in the live quote - Authorize
Approve and send the exact USDT amount
Depending on the route, your wallet may request a USDT approval followed by the swap transaction. ZDEX cannot sign for you or store wallet keys.
Funds do not move without wallet confirmation - Settle
Track settlement and receive native ZEC
After confirmation on the selected EVM network, the provider completes conversion and broadcasts the Zcash transaction. The transaction page follows confirmations and refund states.
EVM payment confirmed → Provider processing → ZEC broadcast
Exception path
If the route cannot complete
The order enters the provider refund flow and eligible assets return to the specified EVM address. Refunds may take time and incur network fees.
Order recovery
Keep access to private order details
The access token stays only in this browser. A public transaction reference can show public status, but never exposes wallet addresses or other private order data.
