FAQ

ETC yield FAQ

What's the best ETC interest rate right now?

The highest ETC rate we currently track is 12% APY on CoinDepo, which we grade F for safety. These are base rates refreshed daily — not promotional teasers.

Is earning interest on ETC safe?

It depends on the platform, not the coin. We grade every platform A–F on five checks: regulation, proof-of-reserves, flexible withdrawals, an insurance fund, and track record. Check the grade next to each rate before depositing — a higher APY often means higher risk.

Are these ETC rates promotional?

No. We track 9 platforms for ETC and publish base rates only — never the headline promo or teaser tiers that apply to tiny balances. Floating rates are labelled as snapshots, so the number reflects what a normal balance realistically earns.

ETC

What is ETC

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum chain that remained after the 2016 hard fork over The DAO hack. PoW (like Bitcoin), no plans to move to PoS. Ideologically rooted in "code is law." ETC pays gas; rewards come from mining, not staking.

Known risks

  • Multiple 51% attacks in history (2019, 2020)
  • Small developer community vs ETH
  • Gradually falling behind technologically
