Ethereum Classic

What is Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic is a decentralized blockchain platform that emerged as a result of a hard fork from the original Ethereum blockchain in 2016. The fork occurred following a contentious decision to reverse a hack through a system upgrade on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum Classic maintained the original blockchain, emphasizing principles of immutability and minimal intervention.
