Zcash (ZEC) Network Fees

Zcash (ZEC) Network – Privacy with Efficiency

Zcash focuses on privacy while keeping fees low and predictable.

How Zcash Fees Work

Like Bitcoin, Zcash fees are based on:

• Transaction size in bytes

• Current network congestion

Edge recommends fees after checking real-time Zcash network activity.

Note: Sending a private (shielded) ZEC transaction may require slightly more fees and time than a regular transparent one.

Fee Options You Can Choose

• High – Quick confirmation, useful for shielded transactions

• Optimal (default) – Balanced for most transfers

• Low – Cheapest option if you're not in a rush

• Custom – Set your own litoshis/byte manually

To adjust: Start a send → Tap fee settings gear → Choose a preset or enter custom values.

Average Cost

Regular ZEC transactions cost around $0.0001 to $0.005 USD — extremely low!

Why It Matters

Zcash lets you send privately or publicly at very low cost. Edge helps you adjust fees simply, whether you're prioritizing privacy, speed, or savings.
