Buy Ethereum ClassicEthereum Classic (ETC) is an open-source, decentralized, blockchain-based distributed cryptocurrency platform that runs smart contracts. Ethereum Classic was established in 2016 after the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), which used smart contracts operating on the Ethereum blockchain, was hacked. The original blockchain was split in two, with the majority of users choosing to reverse the hack and return the stolen funds. Ethereum Classic and Ethereum are rooted in the same code but 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.
ETC’s future looks less promising than Ethereum’s, since Ethereum remains the more popular of the two networks.
The blockchain and cryptocurrency have failed to gain much traction in the market and have lost market share to other cryptocurrencies, notably Bitcoin. ETC continues to be traded on exchanges and mined by the crypto community. The blockchain and cryptocurrency still have a solid base of traders and fans.
Like Ethereum, ETC has a process for proposing improvements. Since its hard fork, it has undergone several upgrades, such as becoming compatible with Ethereum’s latest changes. Despite this, demand for ETC remains strong, and it is possible that the blockchain and cryptocurrency will continue to compete in this area.
