ShapeShift has built a tool for users to easily separate their ETH and ETC. This is important since the fork happened - many Ethereum addresses have both Ethereum and Ethereum Classic balances, and sending can inadvertently result in lost funds on one or the other chain.
Anyone can use the ShapeShift Ethereum Splitter to "clean" their balances, so that their Ethereum goes to a clean Ethereum address, and their Ethereum Classic goes to a clean Classic address. Funds can be sent into the splitter from any wallet or exchange.

Please make note of the following best practices to ensure you are using the ShapeShift Splitter Tool correctly:
- Please note, it can take up to 5 minutes for an order to complete. If you feel like it has taken longer than 5 minutes, please feel free to contact our support team HERE but please do not do this before the 5 minutes has elapsed. They will not be able to help you until after that time period.
- Read ALL directions and warning notes before moving forward with your transaction
- NOTE: In order to provide this service, ShapeShift charges a fee of .25%, as well as the gas necessary to perform the transaction
- Make sure you ONLY input "clean" addresses in the receiving address boxes for your Ether and ETC
- Never send ETH to an ETC address and vice versa or the funds will become contaminated again, and you will need to re-clean them
- YOU MUST send over the minimum of .5 ETH
