Ethereum Classic
ETCLive since 20 July 2016, about 10 years. Machine-drafted, not yet checked by a person.
Ethereum Classic is a blockchain that runs smart contracts and is secured by mining computers competing to solve puzzles. Its pages make no dated promises we could check. It trades at $7.40, #68 of all coins by size, 96% below its highest ever price.
This week Nothing changed on its record.
A real job, real backing. No dated promises on its pages. Nothing dated ahead. #27 of 274 smart contract platforms. Nothing to be careful of on the record.
Is it real?

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Smart Contract Platform ($45.66M). To match the leader, BNB ($95.27B), its price would need to rise 8048%, to about $602.92.
Still to check
- No dated promise on record yet, so delivery cannot be judged
- No named investor among its tags
What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.
A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.
Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.
Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.
Does it deliver?
No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

What is next, and when?

Nothing dated
The project has not put a date on anything still open. That is a fact worth knowing.
How big is it next to its rivals?

Only coins within a hundred times its worth; a coin a thousand times bigger is another world
A platform other apps build on
35 coins we checked say they are for a platform other apps build on, worth $393.62B together. #10 of 35 by worth.
Smart Contract Platform: this coin next to BNB, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.
- Ethereum Classic says
- Ethereum Classic is a blockchain that runs smart contracts and is secured by mining computers competing to solve puzzles.
- BNB says
- BNB is the native utility token of the BNB Chain ecosystem.
Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.
Ethereum Classic is a blockchain that runs smart contracts and is secured by mining computers competing to solve puzzles.
Problem it says it solves: a platform other apps build on. 52 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $408,727,547,844.
Where it trades: Coinbase, Crypto.com, Kraken, Binance, Binance US
Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.
Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.
What should make me careful?
Nothing printed today
None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

Smart Contract Platform: this coin next to the group's largest, BNB.
| Ethereum Classic | BNB | |
|---|---|---|
| Years trading | 11 years | 9 years |
| Major exchanges | 9 | 6 |
| Named backers | 0 | 0 |
| Headlines, last month | 14 | 68 |
| Promises delivered | no record | no record |
It is 1.2% the size of BNB. On the facts above it is behind on headlines, last month. For that gap to close, the record would need deliveries showing up in its record. Nothing here says it will; the site does not predict.
The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.
