What is Ethereum Classic?

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum blockchain that kept running unchanged after the 2016 split over The DAO hack. It still uses proof-of-work mining and supports smart contracts compatible with Ethereum tools. ETC pays transaction fees and rewards miners, and its supply is capped at roughly 210.7 million coins.
