Exchange XRP to ETC

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
