Ethereum Classic
Build Unstoppable Applications
What is Ethereum Classic?
Ethereum Classic is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that can be run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, or third party interference.
Ethereum Classic consists of a cryptocurrency (ETC), a blockchain ledger, and an ecosystem of applications and services that run on top of it.
Put simply, Ethereum Classic provides a way to manage digital assets without the need for intermediaries, such as banks and other financial institutions.
ETC allows uncensorable smart contracts to be written, deployed and executed; it enables truly unstoppable programmable money.
Ethereum Classic is the continuation of the original non-forked Ethereum (ETH) chain and exists to preserve the principle of "code is law".
To find out more about ETC's history and where it's going, check out the Ethereum Classic roadmap.
