Buy Ethereum ClassicEthereum Classic (ETC) is an open-source, decentralized blockchain platform for running smart contracts. It was established in 2016 after the DAO (Decentralised Autonomous Organisation), which used smart contracts operating on the Ethereum blockchain, was hacked. The original blockchain split into two, with most users choosing to reverse the hack and return the stolen funds. Although Ethereum Classic and Ethereum are rooted in the same code, they have different technical and philosophical differences.
One of the most significant differences between the two is that Ethereum Classic retained the proof-of-work mechanism and competitive reward system that Ethereum used prior to the merge. This means that ETC’s tokens can be mined, whereas ETH’s cannot.
Another difference is that there is no limit on the number of Ethereum tokens that can be issued. In contrast, Ethereum Classic has a limit of 210.7 million coins that will ever be introduced. Every five million blocks, the Ethereum Classic blockchain undergoes a halving. This event is similar to Bitcoin’s halving, where the block rewards are reduced by 20% every four years. The last halving occurred in June 2024, when the reward dropped to 2.048 ETC.
This reduction in rewards is expected to continue every two years. Up to 95% of ETC is expected to be mined by 2059.
