Keeping your Ethereum Classic safe - how Zypto handles security
Zypto App is non-custodial. Your private keys are generated and stored on your device. Zypto never has access to your ETC, and every transaction is signed locally. For higher security, pair with the Vault Key Card, the card-based cold-wallet hardware that signs transactions over NFC without exposing keys to the internet.
What is Ethereum Classic?
Ethereum Classic is the continuation of the original Ethereum blockchain that launched in 2015. It came about after the community split following a major hack, with one group choosing to keep the unaltered chain rather than reverse the affected transactions. That chain became Ethereum Classic. The ETC coin powers the network and is secured through proof-of-work mining, distinguishing it from the proof-of-stake model the main Ethereum chain later adopted. It supports smart contracts and follows a philosophy centered on immutability, the idea that the ledger should not be changed. It remains one of the longer-standing proof-of-work smart contract platforms. You can track the Ethereum Classic price and hold ETC in a self-custody wallet.

Ethereum Classic (ETC) wallet: the things people ask
What's the best Ethereum Classic wallet app?
That depends on what you want to do with your ETC. If you're holding only, any non-custodial wallet works. If you also want to use Ethereum Classic for real-world spending through the Zypto Premium Visa Card, pay bills, top up phones, or swap into other assets, Zypto App is purpose-built for that while still being fully non-custodial.
Is the Zypto Ethereum Classic wallet non-custodial?
Yes. Your private keys are generated and stored on your device. Zypto never has access to your ETC. Every transaction is signed locally on your device before it reaches the network.
Can I use Ethereum Classic for real-world spending without selling it?
Through the Zypto Premium Visa Card, your ETC balance is converted at the point of sale, so you use the value of your crypto for real-world spending wherever Visa is accepted, subject to eligibility and applicable limits. You can also swap ETC into stablecoins in-app for bill pay or gift cards.

20+ chains including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain and TRON. Cross-chain swaps happen inside the Zypto App, no separate wallets required.
How do I back up my Ethereum Classic wallet?
During setup, Zypto App generates a 12-word recovery phrase. Write it down and store it offline somewhere safe. For higher security, pair Zypto App with a Vault Key Card, the card-based cold-wallet hardware that signs transactions over NFC without exposing your keys to the internet.
