Zcash (ZEC) trading bots
ZEC bots on Circuit
5 public bots trade the ZEC perp on Hyperliquid right now. Each one runs on its owner's wallet, and every trade it makes is public on its page.
Zcash is a cryptocurrency built from Bitcoin's original code base with a privacy technology that encrypts transaction information and lets users shield their assets, as z.cash describes it. ZEC is its ticker.
As of October 2026 the ZEC perp trades on Hyperliquid at up to 10x, with 5% maintenance margin, and on Lighter.
One public bot runs a two-level plan on ZEC with two bids, a stop and two exits. Others hold it in majors and DeFi baskets or buy it when it leads. Funding bots can watch it too, because sharp rallies pull longs in and push funding up. The funding rate short strategy shows the rule: short when funding stays above a threshold for three hours, close when it fades or price moves 4% against you.
A coin that rallies hard can fall as fast. ZEC's perp is far smaller than BTC's, so a large order moves the price, and a stop that fires in a fast market can fill well past its trigger. Shorting into a rally because funding is high is a bet that the rally ends soon. Keep leverage low and give the position a hard time limit.
