How the ETC → LDO exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 10.8538 ETC.
- Give a LDO address on Lido DAO and a contact for the order.
- Send ETC on Ethereum Classic, exactly the amount the order shows.
- Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Lido DAO to your address. The order page shows the status.
Check this before sending ETC
- The address network is Lido DAO. 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.

Why people take the ETC → LDO route
- A DeFi protocol tokenLido DAO belongs to decentralised finance: holders govern the protocol with it and pay for operations inside it.
- Different basketsDaily moves of ETC and LDO over 90 days link at 0.23 (they travel apart) — the weaker the link, the less a portfolio rests on one coin.
- It works both waysThe LDO → ETC direction is open as well — going back into ETC takes the same route and the same automation.
Common questions: ETC → LDO
What rate does ETC to LDO run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 14:40 it is 1 ETC = 18.8612 LDO. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $9.03.
What amounts does ETC → LDO accept?
From 10.8538 to 1,100,000 ETC per order. The floor is roughly $98.88.
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 LDO 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 LDO arrive in?
Lido DAO arrives in its own Lido DAO network — a plain LDO address is all you need.
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 LDO rate do over the month?
Over the month, minus 5.91%: a low of 18.8583, a high of 22.6806, an average of 20.4786 LDO per 1 ETC.
Can I swap back, LDO for ETC?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 LDO = 0.0530177 ETC. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
