Our verdict on ETCswap V3

5.0/10

ETCswap V3 may suit users who already hold assets on Ethereum Classic and want a decentralized venue for swaps or liquidity provision. Its main appeal is a dedicated set of markets on that chain and an advertised LP fee of up to 1%. The main caveats are the missing full fee schedule and limited audit details: two audits are listed, but their scope and findings are not clear. Check pool terms and transaction costs before committing funds.

What is ETCswap V3?

ETCswap V3 is a decentralized exchange protocol on Ethereum Classic. Its homepage promotes trading ETC and other digital assets, while the protocol description highlights capital-efficient markets and liquidity provision.

The project advertises liquidity-provider fees of up to 1%, but this is not a guaranteed return. Its complete trading-fee schedule, team information, and details about the two listed audits are not published here, so users should check the interface and audit documentation before committing funds.

How ETCswap V3 works

ETCswap V3 is a decentralized exchange, so trades are routed through on-chain markets rather than a conventional exchange order book. A user selects a token pair, checks the transaction details, and approves the swap from an Ethereum Classic-compatible wallet. Network fees are separate from any exchange fee.

Liquidity providers deposit tokens into pools so traders can swap against them. ETCswap advertises fees of up to 1% for liquidity providers, but actual earnings depend on trading activity and pool conditions. Providing liquidity can also expose users to changing token prices and losses relative to simply holding the assets.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Focused on trading and liquidity provision on Ethereum Classic.
  • Advertises liquidity-provider fees of up to 1%.
  • The project lists two audits, although their scope and findings are not specified.

Watch out for

  • Trading fees, gas costs, and other charges are not fully published.
  • The up-to-1% liquidity-provider fee is not a guaranteed return and depends on trading activity and pool conditions.
  • The two listed audits are not identified here, so their scope and findings are unclear.
  • Information about the team, contract controls, and support is not published.

ETCswap V3 fees

ETCswap advertises liquidity-provider fees of up to 1%. That is a potential share of trading fees, not a guaranteed return. A full schedule for swap fees, network costs, and any other charges is not published. Check the trade or liquidity interface before confirming a transaction.

Is ETCswap V3 safe?

ETCswap lists two audits, but the audit names, scope, and findings are not published here. Treat this as incomplete security information, not proof that the contracts are safe. Smart-contract vulnerabilities, transaction errors, and changing token prices can lead to losses.

The project does not publish details here about contract administration, custody arrangements, or incident history. Review the contract and audit documentation before interacting, and only connect a wallet you control.
