DCR to ETC: questions and answers
How do I swap DCR to ETC without KYC?
Enter the DCR amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your ETC address and send your DCR 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 DCR to ETC exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 DCR ≈ 1.7363 ETC (the best of 5 offers for 25 DCR). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
What are the minimum and maximum for DCR to ETC?
The minimum is about 0.429 DCR and the maximum about 134,000 DCR. 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 DCR to ETC swap take?
Usually around 10 min. Most of that is waiting for your DCR deposit to confirm on Decred, which takes about 5-15 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping DCR 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 Decred 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 DCR 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 Decred network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap ETC back to DCR?
Yes. The reverse direction, ETC to DCR, 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.
