Ethereum Classic(ETC)
History

Ethereum Classic(ETC) was created in 2016 as a fork of Ethereum following the DAO Hack.
After the attack, part of the community decided not to modify the blockchain, keeping the transaction history unchanged according to the principle “code is law”, meaning that the blockchain should remain immutable even after major incidents.
Ethereum Classic still uses Proof of Work, making it one of the main smart contract networks that can still be mined.
