Skaičiuotuvas Ethereum Classic į Euras — tiesioginis kursas

Ethereum Classic is the continuation of the original Ethereum blockchain. In 2016, after The DAO hack drained millions in ether, the community split: the majority applied a hard fork to reverse the theft, giving rise to today's Ethereum, while another group chose not to alter the ledger and kept the original chain, which became Ethereum Classic.

Ethereum Classic was born defending the motto "code is law": the idea that recorded transactions should not be reversed even when the outcome is bad, because immutability is a blockchain's core value. That philosophy of an unalterable ledger is its ideological differentiator from Ethereum, which did modify the chain to undo the hack.

Unlike Ethereum, which moved to proof of stake in 2022, Ethereum Classic keeps proof of work (PoW) with mining. Being a network with less mining power than the large PoW chains, it has suffered several 51% attacks in its history (notably in 2019 and 2020), a specific security risk inherent to networks with lower hashrate.
