What Is a Ethereum Classic Wallet?
A Ethereum Classic wallet is software that holds the private keys controlling your ETC on Ethereum Classic and lets you send, receive and store it. Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum chain that kept proof-of-work after the 2016 split, valued for immutability and a fixed monetary policy. ETC is the native coin of its own blockchain, launched in 2016, so the wallet you use has to speak Ethereum Classic — the address format, fees and confirmation times on this page are Ethereum Classic's.
Anytime Capital gives you a free, non-custodial Ethereum Classic wallet: your keys are generated on your device and never leave it, so no exchange, custodian or even Anytime Capital can freeze or move your ETC. There are no monthly fees; you pay only Ethereum Classic's own network fee when you send.
The difference from a standalone ETC wallet is what surrounds it. You can buy BTC, LTC, USDT, ETC, and more into the same wallet using Apple Pay, a debit or credit card, or a bank transfer, convert to US dollars in your Anytime Capital cash account, and spend the balance with your Mastercard® — all from one dashboard.
Step by step
How to Use Your Free Ethereum Classic Wallet
How to Create a Free Ethereum Classic Wallet
- 1Sign up for a free Anytime Capital account and verify your email — it takes a couple of minutes.
- 2Set up passkey security (Face ID, Touch ID or your device PIN). Your ETC keys are generated on your device, not our servers.
- 3Open your wallet dashboard — your Ethereum Classic address is ready to use straight away, with no monthly fees.
How to Receive ETC
- 1Open your wallet, choose Ethereum Classic and tap Receive to show your Ethereum Classic address and QR code.
- 2Share the address (Starts with 0x followed by 40 hex characters (e.g. 0x71C7…). The same address format works across every EVM chain, so always confirm the network as well as the address) or let the sender scan the QR code.
- 3Funds appear after the network confirms — about 13 seconds per block; several confirmations recommended on Ethereum Classic.
How to Send ETC
- 1Tap Send, choose ETC, and paste the recipient's Ethereum Classic address or scan their QR code.
- 2Enter the amount and review the network fee before you confirm. Ethereum Classic gas is paid in ETC and is usually well under a cent.
- 3Confirm to sign on your device and broadcast to Ethereum Classic. On-chain transfers are final once confirmed, so double-check the address.
Ethereum Classic Network Fees, Explained
Your Anytime Capital Ethereum Classic wallet has no monthly fees, no setup fees and no charge to receive ETC. The only unavoidable cost is Ethereum Classic's own transaction fee when you send on-chain, which is set by the network — not by us. Ethereum Classic gas is paid in ETC and is usually well under a cent.
ETC has a hard supply cap of about 210.7 million with block rewards falling 20% every 5 million blocks. Your wallet shows the exact network fee before you confirm any send, so there are never surprises, and you can buy BTC, LTC, USDT, ETC, and more with Apple Pay, card or bank transfer whenever you want to add to your balance.
See our fees & limits and processing times pages for platform-wide details.
How Your ETC Stays Safe
Every transaction is signed locally on your device — your private keys are never transmitted to our servers. Your wallet is protected by passkey authentication (biometrics, not passwords), encrypted backups and 256-bit encryption. Ethereum Classic stayed on proof-of-work when Ethereum moved to staking in 2022, making it the largest PoW smart-contract chain.
Anytime Capital is a FinCEN-registered Money Services Business operating under US compliance obligations, with OFAC screening on platform activity. Self-custody means you can export your keys and take your ETC anywhere, anytime — they're yours. ETC addresses use the same 0x format as Ethereum — sending ETC to an Ethereum-only exchange address is the most common loss, so confirm the network.

Buy ETC now3. Know where free ETC really comes from
Legitimate free tokens exist — and so do giveaway scams built to empty the wallet you just opened. The short version is below.
Read the guideLegitimate ways people get ETC without buying it
- Getting paid in it. Freelancers, remote workers and merchants increasingly invoice in crypto. Your Ethereum Classic wallet address is what you give a client or customer to receive ETC.
- Airdrops from projects you already use. Protocols occasionally distribute tokens to existing users. Real airdrops never ask you to send funds first or to enter a seed phrase.
- Exchange and card rewards. Some platforms pay sign-up bonuses or cashback in crypto. Read the terms — most require a verified account and a first purchase.
- Staking or holding rewards. Where a network pays holders for securing it, rewards arrive as more of the coin. They are earned on coins you already hold, not given to new wallets.
How "free ETC" scams work
- "Send 1, get 2 back." A giveaway that asks you to send ETC first is theft. Nothing comes back.
- "Claim your airdrop — enter your seed phrase." Your 12 or 24 words are your wallet. Anyone who has them owns your ETC. No legitimate service ever asks for them.
- "Connect your wallet to claim." A malicious site can ask your wallet to approve a transaction that drains it. Read every approval before you sign.
- "Free ETC mining app." Apps that "mine" ETC on your phone and then charge a withdrawal fee never pay out.
