Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ARB amount and paste your Ethereum Classic payout address on Ethereum Classic mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ARB to that deposit. After confirmations, ETC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Arbitrum confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ARB on Arbitrum One only — not Ethereum, Optimism, or Base unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Arbitrum-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas if needed.
- ETC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Arbitrum — leading Ethereum rollup
ARB is the governance token of Arbitrum One — an optimistic rollup with EVM compatibility and wide DeFi adoption.
ARB on Arbitrum One
Use an Arbitrum One wallet for deposits. Other chains use different assets even with the same ticker.
Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas on top of the swap amount when required.
Ethereum Classic
Always match ETC on Ethereum Classic mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving ETC
Your wallet must be on Ethereum Classic mainnet.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.
Before you swap
Avoid wrong-network deposits and address format mistakes — read these guides first.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade ARB for ETC?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Arbitrum → Ethereum Classic.
How long is a ARB → ETC order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Arbitrum One and Ethereum Classic mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ARB or ETC?
No. You send ARB yourself and ETC is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong ARB network?
Match the network printed on the order (Arbitrum One). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
