What is Ethereum Classic (ETC)?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a decentralized blockchain platform that uses smart contracts to develop decentralized applications. Users can build smart contracts on the Ethereum Classic network without needing a central authority. Smart contracts are programmed agreements that automatically execute transactions or other operations. Ethereum Classic emerged in 2016 after a hard fork from the original Ethereum network, following a major hack in which 3.6 million ETH was stolen. The split resulted in two separate blockchains due to disagreements within the network on how to handle the hack. Ethereum Classic is therefore the original Ethereum network where the hack occurred. Supporters of Ethereum Classic believe in the principle of “code is law,” meaning that transactions and smart contracts should remain immutable, no matter what happens.

Additional Information about Ethereum Classic (ETC)

How does Ethereum Classic (ETC) work?

Ethereum Classic is a blockchain platform that records transactions and executes smart contracts through a large network of computers (nodes). The network uses the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, where computers must solve complex mathematical puzzles. The computer, or miner, that succeeds gets to add a block of new information to the network and is rewarded with ETC tokens. These tokens can be used, among other things, to pay for transaction fees. Thanks to the PoW consensus mechanism, Ethereum Classic is a secure, transparent, and immutable network.

Who are the founders of Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic does not have an official founder. Ethereum was founded by Vitalik Buterin, but after the hack, he believed that the incident should not affect the chain’s existence. Therefore, Ethereum Classic officially has no founder, as no one explicitly founded the project. A minority of Ethereum developers and users opposed the changes made to Ethereum and remained loyal to the original blockchain—this is how Ethereum Classic was born. However, some notable individuals supported Ethereum Classic:

  • Charles Hoskinson, one of Ethereum’s co-founders and the founder of Cardano (ADA), supported Ethereum Classic in its early days through IOHK.
  • Barry Silbert, the founder of Digital Currency Group (DCG), supported Ethereum Classic through investments.
