Layer 1

Ethereum Classic

The original Ethereum chain, still proof of work.

The chain that continued without the 2016 DAO-hack hard fork, on the principle that code is law. It kept proof of work (Etchash) when Ethereum moved to proof of stake, has a fixed, decreasing issuance schedule, and runs the EVM, so Ethereum tooling works with chain ID 61.

What is Ethereum Classic, and how is it different from Ethereum?

ETC is the original chain that rejected the 2016 DAO-hack fork. It stays proof of work on Etchash, caps supply near 210.7M, uses chain ID 61 and legacy gas pricing, and needs deeper confirmations.
