Who takes the ADA → ETC route

Fuel for Ethereum ClassicWithout Ethereum Classic nothing moves in Ethereum Classic — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.

A road both waysThe ETC → ADA direction is open too, so going back into ADA takes the same route.

How the ADA → ETC order runs

Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 405.2006 ADA.
Enter a ETC address in Ethereum Classic and a way to reach you.
Send ADA in Cardano for exactly the amount stated in the order.
Once the network confirms your transfer, Ethereum Classic leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.

Swap ADA for ETC

Check this before sending ADA

The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
The transfer must not be smaller than 405.2006 ADA.
Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

Common questions: ADA → ETC

What rate does ADA to ETC run at?

As of Sep 16, 2026 23:43 it is 1 ADA = 0.0269579 ETC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $0.194366.

What amounts does ADA → ETC accept?

From 405.2006 to 51,700,000 ADA per order. The lower limit is roughly $78.38.

Where does the 405.2006 ADA floor come from?

Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 405.2006 ADA the swap stops making sense for either side.

What else is taken on top of the rate?

The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending ADA, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

How long does ADA to ETC take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Cardano confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Cardano closes in about 20 sec.

Which network will ETC arrive in?

Ethereum Classic leaves in its own Ethereum Classic network — a plain ETC address is all you need.

What if the rate moves while I am paying?

The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.

Can I go back, ETC to ADA?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETC = 37.3258 ADA. The link sits right under the calculator.
