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 RON/ETC trading pair represent in the digital asset market?
The RON/ETC pair signifies a cross-chain swap between Ronin (RON), the native token of the Ronin network, a gaming-focused blockchain, and Ethereum Classic (ETC), the original Ethereum proof-of-work chain. This transaction involves exchanging an asset from the Axie Infinity ecosystem, used for gas fees on Katana DEX, for a foundational digital asset known for its commitment to immutability following the DAO hack. -
How can one typically execute a trade from RON to ETC, given they exist on different blockchains?
A direct RON/ETC liquidity pool is rare. The common method involves a multi-step process: 1) Swap RON for a widely bridged asset like WETH or USDC on a Ronin-native decentralized exchange (DEX) such as Katana. 2) Use the official Ronin Bridge to transfer the asset to the Ethereum mainnet. 3) On a centralized exchange (CEX) or an Ethereum-based DEX that lists Ethereum Classic, swap the bridged asset for ETC. -
What are the strategic reasons for diversifying from RON to the Ethereum Classic blockchain?
Diversifying from RON to ETC is a move from a specific-use, gaming-centric sidechain to a permissionless, general-purpose proof-of-work blockchain. Strategically, this could be to gain exposure to ETC's fixed supply policy and its established mining ecosystem, or to hold a digital asset aligned with the 'code is law' philosophy that emerged from its history with the DAO event. It also represents a shift from an ecosystem dependent on a single application (Axie Infinity) to a more decentralized, censorship-resistant network. -
What are the primary transaction fees involved in a RON to ETC swap?
A multi-step RON to ETC swap incurs several fees: 1) A gas fee on the Ronin network, paid in RON, for the initial swap on a DEX like Katana. 2) A bridge fee for transferring your asset from Ronin to Ethereum, which can be significant. 3) An Ethereum network gas fee (paid in ETH) for the final swap to ETC on an Ethereum-based DEX. 4) If using a CEX, you'll encounter trading fees and potentially withdrawal fees for moving your ETC to a private digital wallet. -
What kind of digital wallet setup is needed to securely trade between RON and ETC?
For a non-custodial approach, you would need at least two types of wallets. First, a Ronin-compatible wallet to hold your RON and interact with the Ronin network for staking or DEX swaps. Second, an Ethereum Classic-compatible wallet to receive and store your ETC. Many wallets that support Ethereum (ETH) also support ETC, but you must ensure you are on the correct network. Always double-check addresses and use reputable, audited bridge protocols to minimize risk during the cross-chain transaction.
