DOT

What is Polkadot?

Polkadot (DOT) is a multi-chain protocol that connects different blockchains into a unified network, enabling them to communicate and share data securely. Founded by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, Polkadot uses a unique relay chain architecture with specialized parachains that can be optimized for different use cases. DOT tokens are used for governance, staking, and bonding parachains to the network. Polkadot's vision of an interoperable blockchain ecosystem addresses one of crypto's biggest challenges — fragmented liquidity and isolated chains.

ETC

What is Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum blockchain that continued after the 2016 DAO hack fork. While Ethereum (ETH) reversed the hack through a hard fork, Ethereum Classic preserved the original unaltered chain, adhering to the principle that 'code is law' and blockchains should be immutable. ETC maintains proof-of-work mining and shares much of Ethereum's early technology, supporting smart contracts and dApps. Ethereum Classic appeals to users who value blockchain immutability and decentralization above all else.

DOT to ETC: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging DOT to ETC on GhostSwap.

How long does it take to swap DOT to ETC on GhostSwap?
Most DOT to ETC swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DOT deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Polkadot, 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 DOT in ETC?
1 DOT is worth about 0.130595 ETC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 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 DOT deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DOT to ETC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Ethereum Classic address that should receive the ETC, send DOT 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 Polkadot 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 Polkadot network fee for your deposit is paid in DOT 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 DOT 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 DOT payment on Subscan (https://polkadot.subscan.io) and your incoming ETC on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com).
Is it safe to exchange DOT for ETC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your DOT 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 DOT to ETC swap work?
Polkadot lives on Polkadot and Ethereum Classic on Ethereum Classic, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DOT on Polkadot and pays native ETC on Ethereum Classic, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my DOT to ETC exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the DOT is refunded to the Polkadot 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.
