About
Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the continuation of the original Ethereum blockchain, steadfastly upholding the principle of immutability following the 2016 DAO hack, which led to the network split. This decentralized network maintains its commitment to a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, currently utilizing the Etchash algorithm, to ensure robust cryptographic security and validate transactions on its digital ledger. As a foundational smart contract platform, Ethereum Classic supports the development and execution of decentralized applications (dApps), providing a permissionless environment for developers to build a wide array of on-chain solutions and leverage its Turing-complete virtual machine. The native ETC token is essential for the ecosystem, primarily serving as gas to pay for transaction fees and computational resources required for smart contract operations and peer-to-peer transfers within this Web3 infrastructure.

Beyond its utility for network operations, ETC's tokenomics are designed with a fixed supply cap, established through ECIP-1017, aiming to position it as a sound digital asset with deflationary characteristics over time, differentiating it from Ethereum's (ETH) evolving monetary policy. Ethereum Classic continues to champion the "code is law" philosophy, offering a resilient and censorship-resistant platform for various DeFi applications and digital assets. It represents an important alternative within the broader blockchain technology landscape for users and developers who prioritize unwavering chain integrity and the proven security model of Proof-of-Work for their decentralized solutions and cryptographic security needs, standing as a testament to on-chain persistence.

Frequently asked questions

  • What does the GBP/ETC trading pair represent on a cryptocurrency exchange?

    The GBP/ETC pair represents the exchange rate between the Great British Pound (GBP) and Ethereum Classic (ETC). It allows you to use a direct fiat on-ramp to purchase ETC, which operates on the original Ethereum proof-of-work blockchain, using your pounds. This price quotation shows how many GBP are needed to buy one ETC on a specific digital asset exchange, facilitating direct entry into the ETC ecosystem for UK-based users.

  • What are the best methods to buy Ethereum Classic (ETC) using UK bank transfers?

    The most common and cost-effective methods for buying ETC with GBP involve using UK-regulated cryptocurrency exchanges that support Faster Payments. This allows for near-instantaneous bank transfers. After completing the necessary KYC/AML compliance checks, you can deposit GBP directly into your exchange account and place an order to buy ETC, a digital asset known for its commitment to immutability and smart contract functionality.

  • Why is the immutability of the Ethereum Classic chain a key factor for GBP investors?

    For investors using GBP, the core value proposition of Ethereum Classic is its unwavering commitment to immutability—the principle that blockchain transactions cannot be altered. Unlike its counterpart, the ETC chain upheld the original transaction history after the 2016 DAO hack. This makes it attractive for those who prioritize a fixed monetary policy and a truly censorship-resistant platform for decentralized applications (dApps).

  • Are there differences in fees between buying ETC with a GBP debit card versus a bank transfer?

    Yes, there are significant differences. Purchasing Ethereum Classic via a GBP bank transfer, typically using the Faster Payments service, usually has lower deposit fees on most cryptocurrency exchanges. In contrast, buying ETC with a debit card is often faster and more convenient but almost always incurs higher processing fees. Both methods will allow you to acquire the proof-of-work asset, but the cost of the fiat on-ramp will vary.

  • Once I've purchased ETC with GBP, how are network transaction fees calculated on the Ethereum Classic blockchain?

    After your GBP to ETC purchase, any subsequent transfers of your ETC from one digital wallet to another will incur a network fee. On the Ethereum Classic proof-of-work chain, this fee is calculated based on gas units consumed by the transaction multiplied by the gas price you set. It compensates miners for validating the transaction and securing the network, a fundamental aspect of its decentralized infrastructure.
