Why people swap XTZ to ETC.
Philosophical alignment. SwapHub users who value decentralization and proof-of-work choose XTZ for its self-upgrading capabilities and formal verification. Ethereum Classic, the principled Ethereum, aligns with this ethos for those who prefer immutability over pragmatism.
NFT enthusiasts. Tezos is a popular platform for NFTs, hosting projects like Teia and Objkt. Swapping XTZ to ETC allows creators and collectors to access these NFTs on the original Ethereum chain, preserving the immutable nature of their assets.
Institutional tokenization. XTZ is used by major brands for tokenization, including baking (staking ~5% APY). Converting XTZ to ETC allows these institutions to hold their assets on the original Ethereum chain, ensuring they benefit from the fixed monetary policy and code-is-law philosophy.
Community governance. XTZ's self-amending nature means it can evolve without hard forks, making it a trusted platform for decentralized governance. Swapping to ETC allows users to participate in Ethereum Classic's community-driven development and upgrades.
About the assets.
Tezos is a liquid Proof-of-Stake (LPoS) blockchain that upgrades itself through on-chain governance without hard forks. It is known for its formal verification for smart contracts and is used by major brands for NFTs and institutional tokenization.
Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum chain, staying true to proof-of-work (PoW) and the 'code is law' philosophy. It offers a fixed monetary policy and is preferred by miners post-The Merge for its immutability and resistance to 51% attacks.
Questions people ask.
01 What's the current XTZ to ETC exchange rate?
The current exchange rate between XTZ and ETC is influenced by market demand, liquidity, and the overall health of both networks. Right now, 1 XTZ is approximately equal to ETC. The rate updates every 60 seconds on this page. The exact amount you'll receive is locked at the moment your XTZ arrives at the deposit address.
02 How long does an XTZ to ETC swap take?
The average end-to-end time for an XTZ to ETC swap is about 5 minutes. This includes the time required for XTZ to achieve 2 confirmations (~30 seconds) on the Tezos mainnet, as well as the processing time on SwapHub. You can track the progress in real time on the swap page.
03 Which XTZ networks are supported?
SwapHub supports XTZ on the Tezos mainnet, which is the primary network for transactions and smart contract execution. This network is known for its fast block times, with an average of 15 seconds per block, providing quick finality for swaps.
04 What is the minimum and maximum amount?
Minimums vary by pair and are shown before you confirm — typically around $10–$20 equivalent. There's no hard maximum — larger orders may be split across providers automatically for the best rate. Note that the typical fee range for XTZ on the Tezos mainnet is ~$0.01-$0.05.
05 Float rate vs Fixed rate — which should I pick?
Float gives you the best available rate at the moment your deposit arrives (usually a slightly better number, subject to movement). Fixed locks the rate when you create the order, costing about 0.4% extra — worth it for large amounts or when the market is moving fast.
06 Is there a fee on top of the exchange rate?
SwapHub charges no extra fee on top of the displayed rate — our margin is already included in what you see. You'll also pay the network fee for ETC and the typical XTZ network fee on your chosen XTZ network.
07 What happens if I send the wrong amount?
If you send less than the minimum, the order pauses and you can add a top-up. If you send more than the estimate, you'll automatically receive the extra ETC at the locked rate. Sending a different coin to the XTZ address is recoverable but requires contacting support.
08 Can I swap XTZ to ETC inside Telegram?
Yes. @swapHUB_com_bot opens a Telegram Mini App with the same flow, same rates, same providers. Convenient for mobile users who already live in Telegram.
09 Is SwapHub regulated? Where is it based?
SwapHub operates as a non-custodial interface that routes orders across multiple licensed exchange providers. We don't custody funds, so the regulatory model is closer to an aggregator than an exchange. For jurisdiction-specific questions, see the Terms.
10 What are some common use cases for swapping XTZ to ETC?
Swapping XTZ to ETC is particularly useful for NFT enthusiasts looking to access Teia and Objkt projects on the original Ethereum chain, or for those interested in preserving the immutable nature of their assets. It also benefits institutions looking to hold XTZ on the Ethereum Classic network, leveraging its fixed monetary policy and code-is-law philosophy.
