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.

DEGEN

What is Degen?

Degen (DEGEN) is a term commonly used in the crypto community to refer to high-risk, high-reward investments. A token named DEGEN may be associated with projects that embrace this culture. Due to the speculative nature, users should exercise caution and conduct thorough research.

ETC to DEGEN: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap ETC to DEGEN on GhostSwap?
Most ETC to DEGEN swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the ETC deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Ethereum Classic, then the DEGEN is sent to your wallet, and Base confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ETC to DEGEN?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Base address that should receive the DEGEN, send ETC from your own wallet, and the DEGEN goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Ethereum Classic to Degen?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the DEGEN 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 DEGEN?
To receive Degen from your swap, we recommend using Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the Base (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your DEGEN address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the DEGEN address?
Use a Base address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending DEGEN to an address on another network can lose the coins.
Can I track my ETC to DEGEN 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 DEGEN on BaseScan (https://basescan.org).
Is it safe to exchange ETC for DEGEN on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ETC deposit is converted and the DEGEN is sent straight to the Base address you enter, so check that address twice, Base transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain ETC to DEGEN swap work?
Ethereum Classic lives on Ethereum Classic and Degen on Base, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ETC on Ethereum Classic and pays native DEGEN on Base, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ETC to DEGEN 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.
