About Ethereum Classic
How Ethereum Classic works
Ethereum Classic secures its network through proof-of-work mining: computers around the world expend energy to validate transactions and add blocks to the chain. There are no smart contracts, validators or staking — security comes from the cumulative computing power (hashrate) defending the ledger, and new-coin issuance falls over time via scheduled supply reductions.
What is Ethereum Classic used for?
Ethereum Classic is used primarily as a store of value and settlement layer — a scarce, censorship-resistant digital asset and a way to move value globally without intermediaries.
Risks & considerations
All crypto-assets are volatile and high-risk; never invest more than you can afford to lose. Specific risks include mining concentration, energy-policy regulation and a 51% attack on smaller PoW chains.
