ETC to DOT: questions and answers
How do I swap ETC to DOT without KYC?
Enter the ETC amount on this page, paste your DOT address and send your ETC 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 DOT is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the ETC to DOT 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 ETC to DOT rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for ETC to DOT?
The minimum is about 0.445 ETC and the maximum about 139,000 ETC. 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 ETC to DOT swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your ETC deposit to confirm on Ethereum Classic, which takes longer than most chains, because providers wait for many confirmations. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping ETC to DOT anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Ethereum Classic and Polkadot 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 DOT address should I use?
Your DOT is paid on Polkadot. Use an address that starts with 1. 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 ETC to DOT rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Polkadot 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 Ethereum Classic network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap DOT back to ETC?
Yes. The reverse direction, DOT to ETC, 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.
