Exchange XTZ to ETC

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
