  1. Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 17.6627 LINK.
  2. Enter a ETC address in Ethereum Classic and a way to reach you.

  4. Once the network confirms your transfer, Ethereum Classic leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.

Swap LINK for ETC

Check this before sending LINK

  • The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 17.6627 LINK.
  • 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: LINK → ETC

What rate does LINK to ETC run at?
As of Nov 1, 2026 09:39 it is 1 LINK = 1.6343 ETC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $11.69.
What amounts does LINK → ETC accept?
From 17.6627 to 856,000 LINK per order. The lower limit is roughly $206.30.
Where does the 17.6627 LINK floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 17.6627 LINK 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 LINK, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does LINK to ETC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Chainlink confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is.
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 LINK to ETC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 0.06%. Low 1.4957, high 1.6202, middle 1.5561 ETC per LINK.
Can I go back, ETC to LINK?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETC = 0.614955 LINK. The link sits right under the calculator.
