ETC yield FAQ
The highest ETC rate we currently track is 18.62% APY on Bitfinex, which we grade D for safety. These are base rates refreshed daily — not promotional teasers.
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.
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.
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
