About Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the continuation of the original Ethereum blockchain after a contentious 2016 split. When the community reversed a major hack by changing the ledger, those who believed the chain should be immutable kept the unaltered version — that chain is Ethereum Classic.
ETC retained proof-of-work mining even after Ethereum itself moved to proof-of-stake, and it markets itself on the principle of "code is law" and an unchangeable ledger.
ETC is volatile and high-risk. See its live price in your currency here; this is education, not advice.
The story
Ethereum Classic is the original, unaltered Ethereum chain preserved after the 2016 DAO-hack split, still using proof-of-work and emphasizing immutability.
The context
ETC is a philosophical stance as much as an asset — "code is law" over intervention. It has far less activity than Ethereum and, as a proof-of-work chain, has faced security concerns like historical 51% attacks.
