Ethereum Classic The Bitcoin of smart contracts Ethereum Classic is an open blockchain that all are welcome and free to use. We believe in distributed ownership. We believe that for a blockchain to succeed it must be decentralized in network, technology, community, and leadership. There is no group that can take away your right to use ETC how you choose. On many blockchains, despite their 'decentralization', a small few hold the ability to change how your contracts work and control your money. On ETC we have taken great care to distribute our blockchain stewardship such that no one group controls ETC. Our highly decentralized ecosystem means that ETC does not have the same centralization issues of other blockchains.
