XLM to ETC: questions and answers
How do I swap XLM to ETC without KYC?
Enter the XLM amount on this page, paste your ETC address and send your XLM 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 ETC is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the XLM 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 XLM to ETC rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for XLM to ETC?
The minimum is about 22.3 XLM and the maximum about 6,957,435 XLM. 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 XLM to ETC swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your XLM deposit to confirm on Stellar, which takes a few seconds. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping XLM 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 Stellar 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 XLM 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 Stellar network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap ETC back to XLM?
Yes. The reverse direction, ETC to XLM, 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.
