ETC to XLM: questions and answers
How do I swap ETC to XLM without KYC?
Enter the ETC amount on this page, paste your XLM address and send your ETC to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The XLM is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the ETC to XLM 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 ETC to XLM rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for ETC to XLM?
The minimum is about 0.445 ETC and the maximum about 139,000 ETC. 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 ETC to XLM swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your ETC deposit to confirm on Ethereum Classic, which takes longer than most chains, because providers wait for many confirmations. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping ETC to XLM anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Ethereum Classic and Stellar 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 XLM address should I use?
Your XLM is paid on Stellar. Use an address that starts with G. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty. 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 ETC to XLM rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Stellar 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 Ethereum Classic network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap XLM back to ETC?
Yes. The reverse direction, XLM to ETC, 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.
