Do I need a Destination Tag when sending XRP on the XRP Ledger for this swap?

Yes. When sending XRP via the XRP Ledger, the deposit address provided by Zest will include a Destination Tag. You must include this tag exactly as shown — funds sent without the correct Destination Tag can be delayed or lost. If you are sending XRP on BNB Smart Chain instead, no Destination Tag is required.

Which ETC network should I select when receiving Ethereum Classic?

Zest supports receiving ETC on the native Ethereum Classic network and on BNB Smart Chain. You should select whichever network your destination wallet or platform actually supports. Sending ETC to an address on the wrong network can result in inaccessible funds, so confirm your wallet's supported network before finalizing the swap.

Why do traders swap XRP into Ethereum Classic?

Traders often make this swap to shift from XRP's payment-focused ledger into ETC, which runs on a proof-of-work consensus model with a capped supply schedule. Some users prefer ETC's immutability guarantees and its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine for interacting with ETC-based smart contracts. This route allows the exchange to happen without accounts or custodial intermediaries.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for XRP to ETC?

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of ETC you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your XRP deposit confirms does not change the payout. A floating rate follows the market and can pay slightly more or less at execution time. You can choose either in the swap form before confirming.

How long does a XRP to ETC exchange take?

Timing depends on how quickly your XRP deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and ETC network conditions. Congestion on either network can extend the wait, and the order page tracks each step while your swap runs.

Do I need an account to exchange XRP for ETC?

No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial — you send XRP from your own wallet and receive ETC at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.

1 XRP = $1.11

Swapping XRP for Ethereum Classic lets traders move value from the XRP Ledger ecosystem into ETC's proof-of-work network without relying on a centralized intermediary. This route is common among users who want exposure to ETC's fixed-supply issuance schedule after holding or receiving XRP. Because both assets operate on distinct networks, choosing the right network on each side is essential before confirming the swap.

How to swap XRP for ETC

1
Open the exchange widget and select XRP as the send currency and ETC as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of XRP you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your ETC wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it. Select the network your wallet supports -- the receive network must match where your address lives.
4
Click Exchange and send your XRP to the deposit address shown. Your ETC arrives once the transaction confirms on-chain.

Before exchanging XRP → ETC

Before confirming this swap, verify which network you are sending XRP from — the XRP Ledger and BNB Smart Chain are both supported, and they are not interchangeable. If you are sending XRP via the XRP Ledger, your exchange deposit address will include a Destination Tag; this tag is mandatory and must be entered exactly as shown, since omitting or altering it can result in delayed or unrecoverable funds. On the receiving side, confirm whether your ETC wallet expects funds on the native ETC network or BNB Smart Chain, and make sure the network you select in the swap matches your wallet's supported network. Settlement time can vary depending on network conditions and confirmation requirements for each chain, so allow time for the transaction to finalize before troubleshooting. Double-check the destination address and all network selections on the confirmation screen before submitting.
