This week marks exactly 10 years since #EthereumClassic executed its initial hard fork as a standalone blockchain. Deployed to resolve the 2016 Shanghai spam attacks, this crucial update was officially known as ECIP-1015. The implementation took place a mere three months after ETC formally refused to fork over The DAO. The guiding principle behind the project remains clear to this day: network forks must be utilized solely to advance technology, and absolutely never to redirect funds.
