Ethereum Classic FAQ

What is Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a cryptocurrency and blockchain platform launched in 2015. It enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications.

How does Ethereum Classic work?

Ethereum Classic operates on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism, where miners validate transactions and secure the network by solving complex mathematical problems. This process generates new ETC tokens as rewards. The platform supports smart contracts, which are self-executing agreements with terms directly written into code, enabling decentralized applications to run without central oversight.

What is the ETC token used for?

The ETC token serves as the native currency of the Ethereum Classic network. It is used to pay for transaction fees and computational services when executing smart contracts. Additionally, ETC can be transferred between users and held as a store of value. Its utility is integral to the network's operation, as fees incentivize miners to maintain the blockchain.

How does Ethereum Classic differ from Ethereum?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) and Ethereum (ETH) share a common origin but diverged after the 2016 DAO hack.
