The direction runs at 332.9483 ETC per ETH Optimism, or 0.00300347 ETH Optimism per ETC. Market over 24 hours: ETH Optimism against ETC minus 1.21%. The week added plus 5.46%.
The weekly corridor ran from 316.6985 to 335.7318 ETC, a spread of 6.01%. A single order takes 0.012 to 4,050 ETH Optimism. In dollars that is roughly $29.61.
By market cap Ethereum sits 2th ($301.08 B) and Ethereum Classic 69th ($1.18 B). Daily moves of ETH and ETC over 90 days line up at 0.73 (they travel together).
Who takes the ETH Optimism → ETC route
- Fuel for Ethereum ClassicWithout Ethereum Classic nothing moves in Ethereum Classic — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.
- Different basketsDaily moves of ETH and ETC over 90 days line up at 0.73 (they travel together) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
- A road both waysThe ETC → ETH Optimism direction is open too, so going back into ETH takes the same route.

How the ETH Optimism → ETC order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 0.012 ETH Optimism.
- Enter a ETC address in Ethereum Classic and a way to reach you.
- Send ETH Optimism in Optimism 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.
Check this before sending ETH Optimism
- The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 0.012 ETH Optimism.
- 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: ETH Optimism → ETC
What rate does ETH Optimism to ETC run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 20:08 it is 1 ETH Optimism = 332.9483 ETC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $2,473.81.
What amounts does ETH Optimism → ETC accept?
From 0.012 to 4,050 ETH Optimism per order. The lower limit is roughly $29.61.
Where does the 0.012 ETH Optimism floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.012 ETH Optimism 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 ETH Optimism, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ETH Optimism to ETC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Optimism confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Optimism closes in about 12 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.
What did the ETH Optimism to ETC rate do this month?
The month came in at plus 8.23%. Low 288.6333, high 344.6568, middle 322.2006 ETC per ETH Optimism.
Can I go back, ETC to ETH Optimism?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETC = 0.00301852 ETH Optimism. The link sits right under the calculator.
