What to know about Ethereum and Ethereum Classic

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum is a programmable blockchain proposed by Vitalik Buterin and launched in 2015. Its native coin, ETH, pays for computation on the network. Thousands of tokens, stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols and NFT collections run on Ethereum.

Sending and receiving ETH

Ethereum addresses start with 0x and are the same format on BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon — so always check which network the recipient expects. The fee (gas) is paid in ETH and depends on network load; a transfer is usually confirmed within a few minutes.

Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum chain that continued unchanged after the 2016 split, when most of the community moved to a new chain to reverse the DAO hack.

How Ethereum Classic works

ETC remains on Proof of Work (Etchash) and follows a fixed monetary policy: the block reward is reduced by 20% every 5 million blocks, which limits the total supply. It runs the same kind of smart contracts as Ethereum.

Optimism network

Optimism is an Ethereum layer-2 network. Addresses use the Ethereum format and fees are paid in ETH at a fraction of mainnet cost.

How to exchange Ethereum to Ethereum Classic

Enter the ETH Optimism amount in the calculator (minimum 0.08888 ETH Optimism) and click “Go to exchange”.
Enter your ETC wallet address on the Ethereum Classic network and your contact details.
Send exactly the specified amount of ETH Optimism on the Optimism network to the details shown in the order.
Once the transfer is confirmed, Ethereum Classic is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.

Exchange ETH Optimism to ETC

What to check before exchanging ETH Optimism to ETC

The recipient address must be on the Ethereum Classic network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
The amount sent must be at least 0.08888 ETH Optimism.
Copy the whole address and check the first and last characters after pasting.
Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
