Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum blockchain that continued after the 2016 DAO hack fork. It operates on proof-of-work consensus, keeping the original Ethereum vision of immutability and decentralization. ETC is fully compatible with Ethereum smart contracts and has a loyal community of developers and miners. It consistently ranks in the top 50 cryptocurrencies and is available on all major exchanges.
