The Ethereum Classic Blockchain is the original Ethereum blockchain and one of the largest and most established blockchain networks in existence. The Ethereum Classic (ETC) cryptocurrency token is a tradable, digital asset that is part of a system that can be used to trade goods, assets, or services.

Ethereum Classic

Cardano is a blockchain platform that, in some ways, aims to improve on the design of the original blockchain. Cardano is an open source project that features a smart contract system as well as a new proof-of-stake algorithm. What makes Cardano unique from other blockchain platforms is their philosophy of engineering decisions toward a "philosophy of simplicity". The goal of this philosophy is to eventually reduce the total number of ways to interact with the chain to three: (1) stake, (2) spend and (3) vote.
