#ETC (Ethereum Classic) is a decentralized blockchain platform designed to run smart contracts. It is the original Ethereum chain that continued to exist after the 2016 hard fork. #ETC maintains the principles of blockchain immutability, meaning that all data and transactions remain unchanged once they are recorded.

The main function of #ETC is to support decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts that automatically execute the conditions embedded in the code. #ETC is especially appreciated by those who adhere to the philosophy that the blockchain should remain immutable, regardless of the circumstances.

The #ETC token is used to pay for transactions and interact with dApps on the network. Its stable and resilient architecture makes ETC a popular choice among developers and investors who value security and decentralization.
