Swapping ETH for ETC is a common route for traders who want exposure to the original Ethereum proof-of-work chain without selling out of the Ethereum ecosystem entirely. Some users exchange ETH for ETC to diversify between the two chains or to participate in ETC-native applications and mining ecosystems. Zest Exchange lets you make this swap with no account required and with rates shown before you confirm.
Both ETH and ETC have shown significant recent price swings, so a fixed rate can help protect the expected ETC amount you receive from shifting while your deposit is in transit and being confirmed on-chain. You can still choose fixed or floating in the swap form before creating the order.
Open the exchange widget and select ETH as the send currency and ETC as the receive currency.
Enter the amount of ETH you want to exchange. The widget shows the live rate and minimum amount for this pair.
Paste your ETC wallet address into the recipient field. Select the correct ETC receive network (ETC mainnet or BNB Smart Chain) and confirm your address supports that network before proceeding.
Click Exchange and send your ETH from the network you selected to the deposit address shown. Your ETC will arrive once the transaction confirms on-chain.
ETH can be sent from several networks including Ethereum mainnet, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, Base, and others, so it is important to select the network that matches the wallet or platform you are sending from. ETC can be received on the ETC mainnet or BNB Smart Chain — confirm that your receiving wallet actually supports the network you choose, as sending ETC to a BNB Smart Chain address that only handles native ETC (or vice versa) can result in lost funds. Neither ETH nor ETC requires a memo or destination tag, but the receive address must still be verified character-by-character before confirming. Both assets have shown notable 24-hour price movement, so consider whether a fixed or floating rate better suits your tolerance for rate changes during the confirmation window. Confirmation speed depends on network conditions at the time of your transaction, so avoid using a tight deadline as the basis for your timing.

Choose the network that corresponds to where your ETH is held — for example, Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, or Base. Sending from the wrong network can result in funds not being received. Always verify your send network matches the deposit address format shown in the widget.
ETC received on its native network is the standard Ethereum Classic token used for on-chain transactions and ETC-native applications. ETC on BNB Smart Chain is a wrapped or bridged representation and requires a compatible BNB Smart Chain wallet to access. Make sure your receiving wallet supports whichever network you select.
With a floating rate, the final ETC amount can shift with market prices during deposit confirmation. With a fixed rate, the quoted amount is locked in at the time you initiate the swap, subject to the terms shown in the widget. Given the volatility both assets have demonstrated, many users on this route prefer the fixed rate option.

The total time depends on how quickly your ETH deposit confirms on the chosen send network, the time needed to process the exchange, and how quickly the ETC payout confirms on the receiving network. Network congestion on either chain can extend this window, so timing is not guaranteed and varies with on-chain conditions.
Zest Exchange does not require account creation or signup for standard swaps, and the exchange is non-custodial, meaning your funds are not held on the platform. However, all transactions are recorded on their respective public blockchains, and in some circumstances additional checks may apply. Zest does not promise complete anonymity in every situation.
