BCH to ETC: questions and answers

How do I swap BCH to ETC without KYC?

Enter the BCH amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your ETC address and send your BCH to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and by default it only shows exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The ETC is paid directly to your wallet.

What is the BCH to ETC exchange rate?

The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current BCH to ETC rate for the amount you enter.

What are the minimum and maximum for BCH to ETC?

The minimum is about 0.0147 BCH and the maximum about 4,580 BCH. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.

How long does a BCH to ETC swap take?

Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your BCH deposit to confirm on Bitcoin Cash, which takes about 10-20 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.

Is swapping BCH to ETC anonymous?

AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum Classic are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.

Which ETC address should I use?

Your ETC is paid on Ethereum Classic. Use an address that starts with 0x and is 42 characters long. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.

What fees are included in the BCH to ETC rate?

Everything. The exchange's spread, the Ethereum Classic network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Bitcoin Cash network fee to send the deposit.

Can I swap ETC back to BCH?

Yes. The reverse direction, ETC to BCH, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
