What is Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a hard fork of Ethereum (ETH) that launched in July 2016. Ethereum Classic is the original Ethereum blockchain. But after a major hacking of DAO that led to the theft of 3.6 million ETH, the Ethereum blockchain has been split in two. Post the split, we got two separate blockchains, one being Ethereum Classic, which follows the same roadmap initially set for Ethereum, and the other being Ethereum, which continues to be developed by the Ethereum Foundation under an updated roadmap.

The main function of Ethereum Classic is to be a decentralized computing platform on top of which smart contracts can be executed, enabling the development of decentralized applications (DApps). Since its launch, Ethereum Classic, the team has sought to differentiate itself from Ethereum, with the two networks’ technical roadmaps diverging further and further from each other with time. They believe that ETC is uniquely positioned as the smart contract platform of the future since it combines the technology of ETH with the philosophy of BTC.

The native token of the Ethereum Classic blockchain is ETC. Similar to Ethereum and its native unit ETH, Ethereum Classic has a maximum supply of 210,700,000 coins. Ethereum Classic users pay fees in ETC to execute smart contracts. These costs are commonly referred to as gas fees, and they are paid to miners who use advanced computers to solve “proof-of-work” problems to help validate the network. The Ethereum Classic blockchain issues new ETC to the circulating supply to reward miners for adding new transactions to the blockchain.

“Ledger = peace of mind. I'm sure some of us know that unsettling feeling when you know you need a Ledger but haven't quite organized yourself to get it sorted. If I did it all again, I'd start with having a Ledger.”

Janet Onagah @Janet_Oganah

"I got hacked in January and lost 1000s worth of NFTs. I felt disgusted, lost, and willing to quit. Until my friend told me he's ordering a Ledger. So, we bought the duo deal. Since then, I've been sleeping."

PrimeNic.eth @primenic_eth

“I use multiple Ledgers. Different colours = different uses.Public Wallet. Never touch long term storage. Day to day fund holdings. A back up just in case.”

winny.eth @winnyeth

"I have 3 Ledgers. Hot Wallet: minting/drawings etc. Main wallet: store most NFTs. Vault wallet: cold storage of crypto."

“I have 5 Ledger total. My personal NFT bag. 1 for testing. And 1 for each of my 3 daughters.”

"If I could, I would name my Ledger Hagrid. Cause it's the keeper of my keys."

Petrica Butusina @PetricaButusina

"My Ledger is already called "Stew". As it is the steward who looks after my crypto & NFTs, so I can sleep at night."

Lkmland Crypto 💫 @LkmlandCrypto

"Ledger makes cold storage downright easy. My NFTs land infinitely safer and I don’t have to feel as paranoid about connecting to new smart contracts."

FAQ

Find answers to some of the most common questions.

How to secure Ethereum Classic tokens?

When you first buy asset, you’re issued with two keys: public and private.

A public key serves as an address that can be shared with other parties to perform transactions.
A private key represents a randomly generated number that signs transactions and protects your assets from malicious attacks. If it gets compromised or lost, you won’t be able to access your wallet to spend, withdraw, or transfer your cryptocurrencies.

To safeguard and keep track of your keys, you can use online or offline wallets. Online wallets, also known as hot wallets, store private keys on systems or devices that are connected to the internet. Hot wallets are easy and convenient to use, however, they come with several drawbacks. Besides being susceptible to attacks and a honeypot for hackers, with hot wallets, the custody of private keys is often entrusted to a third party such as a crypto exchange, which means you never have full control over your funds. The safer choice are specialized hardware wallets that store private keys offline. Stealing private keys from a hardware wallet would require physical access to the wallet and corresponding PIN or the recovery phrase. What’s more, with hardware wallet, you don’t need to rely on third party custodians.
