About Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum chain that continued unchanged after the 2016 DAO hack led to a contentious hard fork. It retains proof-of-work consensus and a philosophy of chain immutability.

Why people send leftover Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic balances often end up as small leftovers from early mining rewards or legacy exchange withdrawals, since it sees far less everyday transaction volume than Ethereum itself.
How to send it
Find the withdraw or send option for ETC.
Scanning is usually fastest from a phone; copy/paste works well on desktop.
Ethereum Classic uses the same address format as Ethereum but is a completely separate network — sending on Ethereum Mainnet by mistake means the funds go to a different, unrelated wallet on a different chain. Always select the Ethereum Classic network specifically.
Once everything matches, confirm the transaction. You can verify it landed using the Blockscout link above.
Fees to expect
Ethereum Classic network fees are generally low and fairly stable, usually well under a dollar for a standard transfer.
