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.

OP

What is Optimism?

Optimism (OP) is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses optimistic rollups to make transactions faster and significantly cheaper than on Ethereum mainnet. Optimism is known for its retroactive public goods funding model, which directs network revenue toward open-source projects that benefit the ecosystem. OP is the governance token used for voting on protocol decisions and treasury allocation. Major DeFi protocols including Aave, Uniswap, and Synthetix are deployed on Optimism.

ETC to OP: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap ETC to OP on GhostSwap?
Most ETC to OP swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the ETC deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Ethereum Classic, then the OP is sent to your wallet, and OP Mainnet confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
How much is 1 ETC in OP?
1 ETC is worth about 68.6272 OP 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 OP 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 OP?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the OP Mainnet address that should receive the OP, send ETC from your own wallet, and the OP goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Ethereum Classic to Optimism?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the OP 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 OP?
To receive Optimism from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the OP Mainnet (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your OP address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the OP address?
Use an OP Mainnet address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending OP to an address on another network can lose the coins.
Can I track my ETC to OP 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 OP on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io).
Is it safe to exchange ETC for OP on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ETC deposit is converted and the OP is sent straight to the OP Mainnet address you enter, so check that address twice, OP Mainnet transfers cannot be reversed.
How does a cross-chain ETC to OP swap work?
Ethereum Classic lives on Ethereum Classic and Optimism on OP Mainnet, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ETC on Ethereum Classic and pays native OP on OP Mainnet, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my ETC to OP 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.
