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.

ADA

What is Cardano?

Cardano (ADA) is a third-generation blockchain platform built on peer-reviewed research and formal verification methods. Developed by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, Cardano takes a methodical, academic approach to solving blockchain scalability, interoperability, and sustainability. ADA is used for staking, governance voting, and paying transaction fees on the network. Cardano's Ouroboros proof-of-stake consensus protocol is one of the most energy-efficient in the industry. The platform supports smart contracts through Plutus and continues to expand its DeFi and real-world application ecosystem.

ETC to ADA: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap ETC to ADA on GhostSwap?
Most ETC to ADA swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the ETC deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Ethereum Classic, then the ADA is sent to your wallet, and Cardano confirms the payout in a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds). Busy networks can add a few minutes.
How much is 1 ETC in ADA?
1 ETC is worth about 33.7863 ADA at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 11 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ADA network fee. The rate floats with the market until your ETC deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ETC to ADA?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Cardano address that should receive the ADA, send ETC from your own wallet, and the ADA goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Ethereum Classic to Cardano?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ADA amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Ethereum Classic network fee for your deposit is paid in ETC by your wallet.
What wallet should I use to receive ADA?
To receive Cardano from your swap, we recommend using Eternl, Lace or VESPR. Make sure your wallet supports the Cardano network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ADA address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the ADA address?
Use a Cardano address: it starts with addr1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.
Can I track my ETC to ADA 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 ETC payment on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com) and your incoming ADA on Cardanoscan (https://cardanoscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange ETC for ADA on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ETC deposit is converted and the ADA is sent straight to the Cardano address you enter, so check that address twice, Cardano transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain ETC to ADA swap work?
Ethereum Classic lives on Ethereum Classic and Cardano on Cardano, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ETC on Ethereum Classic and pays native ADA on Cardano, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ETC to ADA exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the ETC is refunded to the Ethereum Classic 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.
