How to swap ADA to ETC

Four steps, with no account at any of them. Most of the wait is your ADA deposit confirming on Cardano.
  1. 1

    Enter the ADA amount

    Type how much ADA you want to swap (minimum about 11 ADA). The ETC you will receive updates live.

  2. 2

    Check the quote

    A top no-KYC rate is already chosen for you. The form shows what you receive, how long it usually takes and the KYC rating of the route.

  3. 3

    Paste the Ethereum Classic address where you want to be paid. A refund address for your ADA is optional but recommended.

  4. 4

    Send ADA, receive ETC

    Send the exact amount to the deposit address on Cardano. After it confirms (about 2-5 minutes), the ETC is sent to your address.

ADA to ETC: questions and answers

How do I swap ADA to ETC without KYC?

Enter the ADA amount on this page, paste your ETC address and send your ADA to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The ETC is paid directly to your wallet.

What is the ADA to ETC exchange rate?

The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current ADA to ETC rate for the amount you enter.

What are the minimum and maximum for ADA to ETC?

The minimum is about 11 ADA and the maximum about 3,422,165 ADA. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.

How long does a ADA to ETC swap take?

Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your ADA deposit to confirm on Cardano, which takes about 2-5 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.

Is swapping ADA to ETC anonymous?

AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Cardano and Ethereum Classic are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.

Which ETC address should I use?

Your ETC is paid on Ethereum Classic. Use an address that starts with 0x and is 42 characters long. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.

What fees are included in the ADA to ETC rate?

Everything. The exchange's spread, the Ethereum Classic network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Cardano network fee to send the deposit.

Can I swap ETC back to ADA?

Yes. The reverse direction, ETC to ADA, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
