Combining the underlying principles of Bitcoin with the advanced technological capabilities of Ethereum is what truly defines #EthereumClassic. While the Bitcoin network utilizes a Proof-of-Work consensus model, it lacks the ability to execute smart contracts. Conversely, the Ethereum platform provides smart contract functionality but operates without a Proof-of-Work mechanism. Bridging these two distinct approaches, this unique network successfully incorporates both Proof-of-Work and smart contracts, all while maintaining a strictly fixed supply.
