Ethereum Classic Cooperative's logo

The Ethereum Classic Cooperative (the “ECC”) is a 501(c)(3) non profit created to financially support the growth and development of the Ethereum Classic protocol. The ECC believes that the Ethereum Classic protocol can enhance the ways that information and value are shared in a digital economy, and is committed to doing its part to realize this potential. Featuring a flexible and intuitive smart contract programming platform that is powered by ETC, Ethereum Classic can propel the development of a global, secure, and decentralized smart contract network. The ECC has established guidelines for the deployment of its capital across three core investment areas: (1) development; (2) marketing; and (3) community. The ECC will also introduce accountability standards that will be used to monitor the progress of its investment program.
