Launched in July 2016, Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a hard fork of Ethereum (ETH). Its main function is as a smart contract network, allowing it to host and support decentralized applications (Dapps). The native token used on Ethereum Classic is ETC. The main aim is to preserve the Ethereum Blockchain as it originally was and will remain Proof of Work (PoW).
Ethereum Classic's appeal began with those who disagreed with the decision to fork. Since Ethereum Classic has no plan to convert to a Proof of Stake (PoS) mining algorithm, miners will still be able to collect them based on work done as PoW. Over time, ETC and ETH are diverging further apart over time.
