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 NZD/ETC trading pair represent in the digital asset market?

    The NZD/ETC pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp allowing users to purchase Ethereum Classic (ETC) using New Zealand Dollars (NZD). It signifies a valuation of ETC against NZD on a cryptocurrency exchange. This pair is important for New Zealand-based investors wanting direct access to the original Ethereum blockchain, which maintains its immutability and 'Code is Law' principle through a robust Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism.
  • What are the common methods for purchasing ETC with NZD on a secure trading platform?

    To purchase ETC with NZD, you typically need to use a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that supports NZD deposits. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML compliance checks, and then funding your account using local payment methods like an NZD bank transfer or a debit card. Once funded, you can place an order for ETC on the NZD/ETC order book. Always ensure the platform is regulated by authorities like the FMA for secure trading.
  • How does Ethereum Classic's Proof-of-Work (PoW) model impact its use after an NZD purchase?

    After acquiring ETC with NZD, its utility is defined by its underlying Proof-of-Work blockchain. This PoW consensus ensures that all blockchain transactions and smart contract executions are validated by a decentralized network of miners, upholding the network's security and immutability. Unlike chains that have moved to Proof-of-Stake, ETC's PoW model is valued by those who prioritize the battle-tested security principles established since its inception, stemming from The DAO hack hard fork.
  • What types of fees can I expect when converting NZD to ETC?

    When converting NZD to ETC, there are typically three types of fees. First, a deposit fee for funding your exchange account with NZD, which varies by payment method. Second, a trading fee (either a maker or taker fee) charged by the exchange for executing the trade on the NZD/ETC order book. Third, if you move your digital asset to a private digital wallet, you'll pay a network withdrawal fee, which is a standard blockchain transaction cost on the Ethereum Classic network to pay the miners.
  • What are the security best practices after buying ETC with New Zealand Dollars?

    After your NZD to ETC conversion is complete, the top security practice is to transfer your ETC from the cryptocurrency exchange to a personal digital wallet where you control the private keys. A hardware wallet (cold storage) offers the highest level of security. Always double-check the recipient's public address before initiating a blockchain transaction, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts, and be wary of phishing scams. Never share your private keys or seed phrase.
