Understanding ETC
What is Ethereum Classic?
Ethereum Classic is the original, unaltered version of Ethereum, preserving the original chain after the infamous DAO hack of 2016. As a proof-of-work blockchain, Ethereum Classic maintains a strong commitment to immutability and decentralisation. While Ethereum has transitioned to proof-of-stake, ETC remains an alternative for those who favour a traditional, permissionless blockchain model.
