What Is Ethereum Classic (ETC)?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a decentralized, open-source blockchain that emerged as a result of a split from Ethereum in 2016. It preserves the original Ethereum blockchain following a contentious hard fork due to the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) hack. Ethereum Classic maintains the immutable principle of blockchain, advocating for code is law and resisting alterations in the blockchain's history, even in cases of security incidents or hacks. ETC operates similarly to Ethereum, supporting smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) but maintains a different development path and community from Ethereum.

What Makes Ethereum Classic Unique?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) stands out for its commitment to immutability and preserving the original principles of blockchain technology. Its uniqueness lies in maintaining the unaltered history of transactions, adhering to the concept of "code is law." Unlike Ethereum (ETH), which underwent a hard fork to rectify the consequences of a hack, ETC remained true to the immutability principle, refusing to make changes to the blockchain, even in the face of security incidents.
