What is an Ethereum Classic node?

An Ethereum Classic node is a computer with a preinstalled software program (client) that maintains a copy of the entire blockchain and participates in the network by validating transactions and blocks.

How to run an Ethereum Classic node?

To run an Ethereum Classic node, you need to download and install the Ethereum Classic client software, such as Geth or Parity, configure the node settings, and connect it to the network.

What is a ETC full node?

An ETC full node refers to a complete implementation of the blockchain node that stores and validates all past transactions and blocks on the blockchain, providing a comprehensive view of the network.

What is RPC in Ethereum Classic?

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) in this context refers to a communication protocol that allows external applications to interact with an Ethereum Classic node. RPC enables developers to make queries and execute commands on the blockchain network.

How does Ethereum Classic API work?

The Ethereum Classic API provides a set of standardized methods and endpoints that allow developers to access and interact with the blockchain. It enables functionalities like retrieving account balances, submitting transactions, and accessing smart contract data.

Ethereum Classic RPC: Why should you choose it?

Ethereum Classic is an initial version of Ethereum protocol: ETC still follows the principles the second blockchain was launched with in 2015. After The DAO Hack, developers agreed to alter the history of the blockchain: a new network with erased attack-related events is now called Ethereum.

Unlike “main” blockchain, Ethereum Classic is still using Proof-of-Work (PoW) as its network consensus type. However, due to security and functionality issues, it slightly adjusted the Ethash mining algorithm. New ETC nodes algorithm Thanos or ETChash was implemented in 2020.
Ethereum Classic supports smart contracts. Although its dApps ecosystem isn't as large as that of Ethereum, ETC RPC APIs are still used by dozens of on-chain games, marketplaces, stablecoins, and wrapped tokens.
Ethereum Classic's main cryptocurrency is dubbed ETC. It is listed by almost all major crypto exchanges and remains in Top-30 by market capitalization.
