Ethereum Classic (ETC) → Ethereum (ETH Optimism)

The order runs on autopilot: the rate is locked when you create it, and the payout leaves as soon as the network confirms your transfer. No manual approval, no working hours.

Preliminary figure: the final amount is locked in the order.

Current maths: 0.00337495 ETH Optimism for every ETC, and 296.3008 ETC per ETH Optimism in reverse. Over 24 hours ETC/ETH Optimism came in at plus 2.52%. Over the week, plus 5.64%.

The weekly range ran from 0.00300366 to 0.00324773 ETH Optimism, a spread of 8.13%. One order takes from 10.8538 to 1,460,000 ETC. In dollars that is roughly $74.24.

The robot sends the payout in the Optimism network, so the address has to belong to that network — a transfer to another one will not arrive. Market capitalisation puts Ethereum Classic at No. 70 ($1.09 B) and Ethereum at No. 2 ($257.99 B). Over 90 days the daily moves of ETC and ETH correlate at 0.78 (they travel together).

Which network ETH arrives in

The same ETH goes out in several networks. Each has its own rate and its own floor, and the fee is charged by the network itself.

How the ETC → ETH Optimism exchange runs

  1. Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 10.8538 ETC.
  2. Give a ETH address on Optimism and a contact for the order.
  3. Send ETC on Ethereum Classic, exactly the amount the order shows.
  4. Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Ethereum to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap ETC for ETH Optimism

Check this before sending ETC

  • The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 10.8538 ETC.
  • Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
  • Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

Daily moves of ETC and ETH over the quarter link at 0.78 (they travel together).

Why people take the ETC → ETH Optimism route

  • Fuel for OptimismWithout Ethereum you cannot pay for a transfer or a contract call in Optimism — the coin is needed for anything that happens in that ecosystem.
  • Different basketsDaily moves of ETC and ETH over 90 days link at 0.78 (they travel together) — the weaker the link, the less a portfolio rests on one coin.

Common questions: ETC → ETH Optimism

What rate does ETC to ETH Optimism run at?
As of Nov 10, 2026 13:29 it is 1 ETC = 0.00337495 ETH Optimism. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $7.13.
What amounts does ETC → ETH Optimism accept?
From 10.8538 to 1,460,000 ETC per order. The floor is roughly $74.24.
Why can I not swap less than 10.8538 ETC?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 10.8538 ETC they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.
Is anything charged on top of the rate?
No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending ETC, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping ETC for ETH Optimism take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Ethereum Classic confirms your transfer, the order goes out for payout with no operator involved. After that the timing is set by how busy the network is — which is the difference between quick and instant.
Which network will ETH Optimism arrive in?
The payout goes out on Optimism. Check that the receiving wallet supports that network.
Which network is cheaper for receiving ETH?
Usually ETH BEP20, ETH Arbitrum, ETH Optimism works out cheaper. Still, the network is picked by what the recipient accepts, not by the fee.
What happens if the rate moves while I am paying?
Nothing: the rate is locked in the order and holds for as long as the order is alive. It is recalculated only if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the ETC to ETH Optimism rate do over the month?
Over the month, minus 4.94%: a low of 0.00303011, a high of 0.00335769, an average of 0.00320996 ETH Optimism per 1 ETC.
Can I swap back, ETH Optimism for ETC?
The ETH Optimism → ETC pair is not running at the moment. The directions available with ETH Optimism are listed below.
