## Monero to Ethereum Classic: from private to public

Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount of every transaction by default. Ethereum Classic is the proof-of-work chain that continued Ethereum's original history when the 2016 DAO fork split the network, and every ETC transfer can be seen on public explorers such as Blockscout. This pair suits Monero holders who need ETC for a payment or an app on that chain. The ETC goes to their own address, with no account.

Most of the wait is on the Monero side, where the deposit needs 10 confirmations, about 20 minutes. Ethereum Classic then confirms the payout in blocks of about 13 seconds, and most swaps finish in 20 to 60 minutes. Your wallet can send only unlocked XMR. Coins received in the last 10 blocks count in your total balance but cannot be spent yet.

### Tips

- Paste an Ethereum Classic address (0x plus 40 hexadecimal characters). In MetaMask, add the Ethereum Classic network (chain ID 61) to see the payout. Trust Wallet lists ETC as its own coin.
- Every ETC transfer is public. To keep the payout separate from your Ethereum activity, receive it at a fresh address, not one you already use on Ethereum.
- Send from Feather, Cake Wallet or Monero GUI, and enter a Monero address you control as the refund address. It starts with 4, or with 8 for a subaddress.

### Can I swap XMR to ETC without KYC?

Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your Ethereum Classic address, check the floating rate and send the XMR from a wallet you control.

### Why can't my wallet send all of my XMR?

Monero locks newly received coins for 10 blocks, about 20 minutes. Wait until the amount you want to swap shows as unlocked, and leave a little for the network fee.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap XMR to ETC on GhostSwap?

Most XMR to ETC swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the XMR deposit needs about 20 minutes (10 confirmations) to confirm on Monero, 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 ETC do I get for 5 XMR?

At 8 Oct 2026, 06:42 UTC, 5 XMR swapped to about 330.2431 ETC on GhostSwap, after the service fee and the ETC network fee. The rate floats with the market, so the exchange box shows the exact live amount before you send.

### What are the fees for converting Monero 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, the Monero network fee for your deposit is paid in XMR by your wallet.

### 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 XMR 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 incoming ETC on Blockscout (https://etc.blockscout.com).

### Is it safe to exchange XMR for ETC on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your XMR 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.

### Will my ETC be linked to my XMR?

Monero is private by default: ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT hide the sender, the receiver and the amount of every transaction. The source of your funds is already protected. The ETC you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Ethereum Classic blockchain with no visible connection to your XMR holdings. GhostSwap requires no KYC, so there's no account linking the two.

### How does a cross-chain XMR to ETC swap work?

Monero lives on Monero and Ethereum Classic on Ethereum Classic, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your XMR on Monero and pays native ETC on Ethereum Classic, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my XMR to ETC exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the XMR is refunded to the Monero 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.
