Most ATOM to ETC swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the ATOM deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Cosmos Hub, then the ETC is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum Classic confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 ATOM in ETC? 1 ATOM is worth about 0.221823 ETC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 12 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ETC network fee. The rate floats with the market until your ATOM deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ATOM to ETC? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Ethereum Classic address that should receive the ETC, send ATOM from your own wallet, and the ETC goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Cosmos to Ethereum Classic? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ETC amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Cosmos Hub network fee for your deposit is paid in ATOM by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive ETC? To receive Ethereum Classic from your swap, we recommend using Trust Wallet or MetaMask (ETC network). Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum Classic network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ETC address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the ETC address? Use an Ethereum Classic address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my ATOM to ETC swap? Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your ATOM payment on Mintscan (https://www.mintscan.io/cosmos) and your incoming ETC on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com). ### Is it safe to exchange ATOM for ETC on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ATOM deposit is converted and the ETC is sent straight to the Ethereum Classic address you enter, so check that address twice, Ethereum Classic transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain ATOM to ETC swap work? Cosmos lives on Cosmos Hub and Ethereum Classic on Ethereum Classic, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ATOM on Cosmos Hub and pays native ETC on Ethereum Classic, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my ATOM to ETC exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the ATOM is refunded to the Cosmos Hub address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network. ## Related - [Reverse: ETC to ATOM](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/etc-atom/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/etc-atom.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
