ETCB

ETCB, or Ethereum Classic Blockchain, is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that was created as a result of a hard fork from the Ethereum blockchain in 2016. The fork occurred due to a disagreement within the Ethereum community regarding the implementation of a controversial hard fork, known as the DAO hard fork. The Ethereum Classic community, which opposed the DAO hard fork, chose to continue the original Ethereum blockchain, thus creating ETCB.

ETCB is designed to be a decentralized platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). It uses a proof-of-work consensus mechanism, similar to Bitcoin, to validate transactions and maintain the integrity of the blockchain. ETCB's native cryptocurrency is called Ether Classic (ETC), which can be used to pay for transaction fees and to execute smart contracts on the platform.

ETCB has a strong focus on maintaining the original vision of Ethereum, which includes decentralization, immutability, and censorship resistance. The platform has a dedicated community of developers and users who contribute to its growth and development. ETCB has seen significant growth in recent years, with an increasing number of dApps and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects being built on the platform.

ETCB is often compared to Ethereum, but it is important to note that the two platforms have different histories and communities. While Ethereum has undergone several hard forks and upgrades, ETCB has remained true to its original codebase and principles. ETCB's commitment to maintaining the original Ethereum codebase has made it an attractive option for users who value decentralization and immutability.
