Ethereum Classic is an open-source blockchain platform that offers decentralized applications and smart contracts. The best part is that it is a permissionless network, which means no permission is required to participate and contribute to the project.
It is a forked version of Ethereum created in 2016. After a major hack, the original blockchain underwent some changes, but some community members stuck to the older version of the blockchain, which is now known as Ethereum Classic. It runs on a PoW consensus like the previous version of Ethereum.
As an open-source network, anyone can join the network and use the features like smart contracts and dApps. The developers can easily access codes on this network, which helps to enhance productivity.
