Overview
About Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum blockchain that continued unchanged after a 2016 split, preserving the principle that blockchain history should not be altered even after major incidents. Its token is ETC.
Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum blockchain, preserved after the 2016 DAO hack split the community. When most of Ethereum chose to reverse the hack's effects with a hard fork, a principled minority kept the unaltered chain running under the banner that code is law, and it has operated continuously since.
ETC remains a proof-of-work smart contract platform, and after Ethereum moved to proof of stake in 2022, it became the largest chain still mined with Ethereum-style hardware. It adopted a fixed monetary policy with a supply cap and scheduled emission reductions, giving it Bitcoin-like scarcity that the original Ethereum lacks.
ETC pays for transactions and smart contracts on its network and appeals to miners displaced by Ethereum's consensus change and to holders who value its immutability principles. Its ecosystem is far smaller than Ethereum's, and the chain suffered 51 percent attacks in 2020 that pushed exchanges to require long confirmation times.
