Building the Future of Decentralized Finance
Ethereum Classic Wallet is more than a cryptocurrency wallet. It is a community-driven project built around the original principles of Ethereum Classic, with an emphasis on long-term consistency and direct interaction with the network.
Our Mission
We aim to build practical and approachable tools that help people interact with the Ethereum Classic network directly, without relying on centralized intermediaries.
Support Independent Use
Provide a wallet that allows users to manage ETC in a clear and predictable way.
Prioritize Careful Development
Focus on stability, maintenance, and responsible implementation rather than short-term feature expansion.
Develop in the Open
Maintain transparent development practices so the community can follow, review, and understand how the wallet evolves.
Core Values
The principles that guide every decision we make and every line of code we write
Transparency
The codebase is open source and publicly available for review. Development decisions and changes are made openly so the community can follow how the project evolves.
User Privacy
The wallet does not require registration and does not collect personal data. Usage is designed to work without tracking or user profiling.
Security First
Security considerations are part of the development process from the start. Features are implemented carefully to reduce unnecessary risk and complexity.
Community Driven
The project is shaped by feedback and contributions from the Ethereum Classic community. Suggestions and discussions help guide development priorities.
Accessibility
The wallet is designed to be approachable and easy to use. Clear interfaces and documentation help users understand how to work with ETC.
Long-term Vision
Decisions are made with long-term maintenance and stability in mind, prioritizing sustainability over short-term changes.
Our Journey
Key milestones in the development and evolution of Ethereum Classic Wallet
Initial Release
The project started with a working desktop wallet for Ethereum Classic, focused on basic address management and transaction handling. From the beginning, the wallet followed a non-custodial model with local key generation and direct interaction with the ETC network.
Core Functionality Expansion
The wallet was actively developed and improved based on early usage. Transaction handling was refined, network interaction stabilized, and internal architecture adjusted to better support Ethereum Classic specifics.
Stability and Network Compatibility
Development focused on improving reliability and maintaining compatibility with Ethereum Classic clients and network behavior. This period emphasized predictable operation, reduced errors, and better handling of network responses.
Architecture and Maintenance Improvements
Internal structure and wallet architecture were revisited to support long-term maintenance. Changes during this period aimed to simplify the codebase, reduce complexity, and prepare the project for continued development.
Desktop Experience and Recovery Support
The desktop application matured across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Backup and recovery mechanisms were improved, and wallet setup became clearer and more user-friendly for everyday ETC usage.
Usability Refinements
The user interface and transaction views were refined based on real-world usage and feedback. Common workflows were simplified, and visual clarity was improved without adding unnecessary features.
Codebase and Documentation Refinement
Attention shifted toward code quality, maintainability, and documentation. Existing functionality was cleaned up and documented more thoroughly to support users and contributors.
Long-Term Support Phase
The project entered a long-term support phase focused on stability, compatibility with the evolving Ethereum Classic network, and predictable updates rather than rapid feature expansion.
Technology Stack
Ethereum Classic Wallet is built on reliable and widely supported technologies to ensure compatibility with the Ethereum Classic network, predictable behavior, and long-term support.
Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Support
The wallet uses the Ethereum Virtual Machine standard to ensure full compatibility with Ethereum Classic addresses, transactions, and smart contracts.
Cross-Platform Runtime
The wallet runs consistently on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with support for both x86-64 and ARM architectures.
Language and Libraries
Core functionality is built with well-supported languages and libraries selected for stability, performance, and long-term maintenance.
Modular Networking and RPC
Standard RPC interfaces are used to communicate with Ethereum Classic nodes for fetching data and broadcasting transactions.
Proudly Open Source
Transparency and community collaboration are at the heart of what we do. Our entire codebase is publicly available for review, audit, and contribution.
