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 is the HKD/ETC trading pair and what is its significance?

    The HKD/ETC pair represents the direct exchange rate between the Hong Kong Dollar and Ethereum Classic. Its significance lies in providing a direct fiat on-ramp for users in one of Asia's key financial hubs to acquire ETC, the original Ethereum blockchain. This allows traders to invest in a smart contract platform that upholds the 'Code is Law' philosophy and maintains its commitment to a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism, all without needing to convert HKD to another cryptocurrency first.

  • What are common methods to buy Ethereum Classic (ETC) with Hong Kong Dollars (HKD)?

    To buy ETC with HKD, you typically use a cryptocurrency exchange that supports HKD deposits. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML verification, and then funding your account using local payment methods like the Faster Payment System (FPS) or a standard bank transfer. Once your HKD deposit is confirmed, you can navigate to the HKD/ETC trading pair on the exchange's order book and place a buy order for the desired amount of this digital asset.

  • What is the key technical difference between ETC and ETH when buying with HKD?

    The fundamental difference stems from the 2016 DAO hard fork. Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original, unaltered Ethereum blockchain that preserved the principle of immutability. It continues to use the secure Ethash Proof-of-Work algorithm for consensus. In contrast, Ethereum (ETH) is the forked chain that has since transitioned to a Proof-of-Stake model. Additionally, ETC has a fixed monetary policy with a capped supply (ECIP-1017), whereas ETH's supply dynamics are different. When you buy ETC with HKD, you are investing in the original chain's philosophy and its PoW security model.

  • What fees are involved when performing an HKD to ETC blockchain transaction?

    There are typically three types of fees. First, your bank or payment provider may charge a fee for the HKD deposit to the exchange (though FPS transfers are often free). Second, the cryptocurrency exchange will charge a trading fee (usually a small percentage) for executing the HKD/ETC trade on its order book. Third, if you withdraw your ETC to a private digital wallet, you will pay an ETC network fee. This network fee is paid to miners who secure the blockchain using the Ethash algorithm, ensuring your transaction is confirmed.

  • How can I securely store my Ethereum Classic (ETC) after purchasing it with HKD?

    For optimal security, it is highly recommended to withdraw your ETC from the exchange to a personal digital wallet where you control the private keys. Options include hardware wallets (the most secure), desktop wallets, or mobile wallets. Leaving large amounts of digital assets on an exchange exposes you to counterparty risk. By moving your ETC to a non-custodial wallet, you leverage the core immutability of the Ethereum Classic blockchain for self-custody, ensuring only you can authorize transactions.
