ONRAMP VS OFFRAMP

Use the Zcash onramp to buy ZEC or the offramp to cash it out

A Zcash onramp moves from fiat into ZEC. A Zcash offramp starts with ZEC and moves toward fiat. zcashto.cash offers a separate flow for each job.

Buy ZEC

Zcash onramp

Buy is the zcashto.cash onramp. Choose a supported payment-app quote, send fiat to the peer, prove the transfer with PeerAuth, and receive ZEC at your shielded Unified or transparent Zcash address.

Zcash offramp

An offramp starts with ZEC you already own. zcashto.cash quotes a ZEC route, delivers Base USDC to your wallet, and then prepares a Peer cashout to a supported payment app.

Which one do you need?

  • Choose an onramp when your goal is to buy or receive ZEC.
  • Choose an offramp when your goal is to cash out ZEC.
  • Choose direct wallet-to-wallet payment when the recipient accepts ZEC itself.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Zcash on zcashto.cash?

Yes. The Buy flow lets you pay a peer with a supported payment app and receive ZEC at a shielded Unified or transparent Zcash address.

What is a Zcash offramp?

A Zcash offramp converts ZEC value into another asset or fiat destination. zcashto.cash routes ZEC to Base USDC before the Peer cashout stage.

Why does the route use Base USDC?

Base USDC is the asset used to create the Peer cashout. The USDC reaches your connected wallet before you review and sign that cashout.
