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

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 to ETC: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap OP to ETC on GhostSwap?
Most OP to ETC swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet, 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 OP in ETC?
1 OP is worth about 0.017203 ETC 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 ETC network fee. The rate floats with the market until your OP deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange OP to ETC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Ethereum Classic address that should receive the ETC, send OP 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 Optimism 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, your wallet needs a little ETH on OP Mainnet to pay the OP Mainnet network fee for sending OP.
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 OP 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 OP payment on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io) and your incoming ETC on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com).
Is it safe to exchange OP for ETC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your OP 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 OP to ETC swap work?
Optimism lives on OP Mainnet and Ethereum Classic on Ethereum Classic, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your OP on OP Mainnet and pays native ETC on Ethereum Classic, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my OP to ETC exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the OP is refunded to the OP Mainnet 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.
