About Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic is a ETH fork that focuses on immutability. Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the continuation of the unaltered history of the original Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. These two chains forked in 2016 after a compromise in the original protocol was discovered, which led to a disagreement among users of the platform at that time. Like Ethereum, Ethereum Classic is a decentralized computing platform that uses smart contracts to run decentralized applications.
