Who takes the OP 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 OP and ETC over 90 days line up at 0.43 (they travel alike) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
- A road both waysThe ETC → OP Optimism direction is open too, so going back into OP takes the same route.

How the OP Optimism → ETC order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 2,157.5 OP Optimism.
- Enter a ETC address in Ethereum Classic and a way to reach you.
- Send OP 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 OP Optimism
- The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 2,157.5 OP 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: OP Optimism → ETC
What rate does OP Optimism to ETC run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 08:38 it is 1 OP Optimism = 0.0129793 ETC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $0.0961767.
What amounts does OP Optimism → ETC accept?
From 2,157.5 to 104,000,000 OP Optimism per order. The lower limit is roughly $207.35.
Where does the 2,157.5 OP Optimism floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 2,157.5 OP 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 OP Optimism, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does OP 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.
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 OP Optimism to ETC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 5.04%. Low 0.0117852, high 0.01411, middle 0.0130961 ETC per OP Optimism.
Can I go back, ETC to OP Optimism?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETC = 77.4335 OP Optimism. The link sits right under the calculator.
