About Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) while preserving the original Ethereum protocol's principles. It utilizes a proof-of-work consensus mechanism to secure its network, allowing miners to validate transactions and maintain the blockchain. The primary target audience includes developers looking for a stable platform for dApps, as well as users who prioritize the immutability of blockchain history. Traders and investors track ETC due to its unique position as a legacy version of Ethereum, its ongoing development, and its potential for growth in the ever-evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
ETC data covers 13 venues. The available products determine which staking rates, withdrawal fees and funding rates appear. Sources include exchange APIs, protocols and aggregators. Scheduled collection: exchange staking every 10 minutes, funding every 10 minutes, fees and network availability every 30 minutes. On-chain yields follow their source schedule.
