Where it came from
In 2016 an attacker drained a large investment contract called The DAO. Ethereum's community voted to reverse it with a hard fork. A minority refused, on the argument that a chain that can be rewritten by agreement is not immutable, and kept the original chain running. That chain is Ethereum Classic, and the argument is its entire reason for existing.
What it does
Ethereum Classic is a proof-of-work smart-contract chain with a capped supply. Where Ethereum moved to proof of stake and an elastic issuance policy, this chain kept mining and adopted a fixed emission schedule that steps down every five million blocks.
What moves the price
- Mining economics. When Ethereum stopped using proof of work, a large amount of GPU hashrate needed somewhere to go, and this chain is one of the few places it fits.
- The scheduled emission reductions, which cut the block reward by 20% at fixed block heights.
- Its security budget relative to the value it secures, since the chain has been successfully attacked by reorganisation before.
- Sentiment spillover from Ethereum, which moves the price far more than anything happening on this chain.
