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.

BTC

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first and largest cryptocurrency, created in 2009 as a decentralized digital currency that operates without banks or intermediaries. Running on a proof-of-work blockchain, Bitcoin enables peer-to-peer value transfer across borders with no central authority. Many holders keep BTC as a long-term store of value. With the largest market capitalization and deepest liquidity of any cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is the most commonly exchanged digital asset.

How does a cross-chain ETC to BTC swap work?
Ethereum Classic lives on Ethereum Classic and Bitcoin on Bitcoin, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ETC on Ethereum Classic and pays native BTC on Bitcoin, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ETC to BTC exchange fails?
