Swap Ethereum Classic (ETC) for Ethereum (ETH Optimism)

Q: What rate does ETC to ETH Optimism run at?

As of Nov 1, 2026 01:19 it is 1 ETC = 0.00315283 ETH Optimism. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $7.10.

Q: What amounts does ETC → ETH Optimism accept?

From 2.5 to 1,410,000 ETC per order. The lower limit is roughly $17.73.

Q: Where does the 2.5 ETC floor come from?

Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 2.5 ETC the swap stops making sense for either side.

Q: 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 ETC, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

Q: How long does ETC to ETH Optimism take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Ethereum Classic confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is.

Q: Which network will ETH Optimism arrive in?

The payout leaves in Optimism. Make sure the receiving wallet works with that network.

Q: Where is receiving ETH cheaper?

The cheapest is usually ETH Arbitrum, ETH BEP20, ETH Optimism. Still, the network is chosen by what the recipient supports, not by the fee.

Q: 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.

Q: What did the ETC to ETH Optimism rate do this month?

The month came in at minus 4.94%. Low 0.00314913, high 0.00336758, middle 0.00326888 ETH Optimism per ETC.

Q: Can I go back, ETH Optimism to ETC?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETH Optimism = 318.7646 ETC. The link sits right under the calculator.

The calculator does the maths at the live rate, the page lists the limits and the timing. Your rate is locked the moment the order is created.

The figure is indicative; the exact amount is locked in the order.

The direction runs at 0.00315283 ETH Optimism per ETC, or 317.1754 ETC per ETH Optimism. Market over 24 hours: ETC against ETH Optimism minus 1.28%. The week added minus 3.01%.

The weekly corridor ran from 0.0031496 to 0.00328044 ETH Optimism, a spread of 4.15%. A single order takes 2.5 to 1,410,000 ETC. In dollars that is roughly $17.73.

The payout leaves in the Optimism network, so the receiving address has to belong to that network. By market cap Ethereum Classic sits 70th ($1.13 B) and Ethereum 2th ($275.21 B). Daily moves of ETC and ETH over 90 days line up at 0.7 (they travel together).

Who takes the ETC → ETH Optimism route

Fuel for OptimismWithout Ethereum nothing moves in Optimism — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.
Different basketsDaily moves of ETC and ETH over 90 days line up at 0.7 (they travel together) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
A road both waysThe ETH Optimism → ETC direction is open too, so going back into ETC takes the same route.

Payout network for ETH

The same ETH goes out in several networks. Rates and lower limits differ, and the fee is charged by the network itself.

How the ETC → ETH Optimism order runs

Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 2.5 ETC.
Enter a ETH address in Optimism and a way to reach you.
Send ETC in Ethereum Classic for exactly the amount stated in the order.
Once the network confirms your transfer, Ethereum leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.

Swap ETC for ETH Optimism

Check this before sending ETC

The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
The transfer must not be smaller than 2.5 ETC.
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.
