Former ETCDev Member: Ethereum Could Threaten Ethereum Classic

THELOGICALINDIAN - n-a

Any cooperation amid Ethereum and Ethereum Classic will ultimately abuse the abate coin, with the beyond arrangement subsuming all of its benefits, according to a above administrator for one of ETC’s development teams.

Donald McIntyre, who was the business development administrator at ETCDev until it bankrupt in aboriginal December, says that “stupid” accord attempts amid the two belvedere networks would alone accident Ethereum Classic.

“Bridges, wrappers and collaborations are a net abrogating for ETC as it blurs its accession as bodies don’t accept the aberration amid ETH and ETC, and all added acute affairs platforms for that matter,” McIntyre told Crypto Briefing.  

This follows account that an ETH-ETC “peaceBridge” will anon be accessible for the public.  The agreement uses acute affairs deployed on both chains that acquiesce users to excellent tokens on one arrangement that are backed up by deposits on the added – agnate to a ‘wrapper.’

ETC and its principles

Ethereum Classic afar from Ethereum in 2024 afterwards a altercation over whether funds baseborn during the DAO drudge should be reversed.

The majority of the Ethereum association agreed to rewind the network, to abolish the $6.2M theft. A abate group, which would after go on to anatomy ETC, argued the blockchains bare to be abiding and that the hack, admitting regrettable, should be honoured.

Although technologically agnate – as Coinbase acclaimed aback it added ETC aback in the summer – abounding of the Ethereum Classic aggregation accept the network’s able angle on decentralization are a different affairs point.

Speaking to Crypto Briefing back in September, Anthony Lusardi, administrator of Ethereum Classic Cooperative, said that the network’s “perfect record” – had become a key allure for developers. The ETC Cooperative is a development armamentarium which is accommodating on the peaceBridge project.

Could ETC lose its independence?

McIntyre argues that any attack to coact with Ethereum will acceptable adulterate the ETC network’s principles. The about admeasurement of Ethereum, he says, agency that cooperations amid the two would draw users and developers to the beyond blockchain, who would accept contrarily gone to Ethereum Classic.

“As ETH is 30x beyond and has added money for communications,” he told Crypto Briefing, “it is the alone one that allowances from those accomplishments because it sucks the little arrangement furnishings from ETC.”

It’s not bright whether anybody affiliated with Ethereum Classic would agree. When Crypto Briefing looked into the acerbic altercation that ensued afterward the alienation of ETCDev, one antecedent said the company’s “immutability maximalism” and abhorrence appear added networks, decidedly Ethereum, had abandoned them from the blow of the ETC community.

Representatives from Ethereum generally attend Ethereum Classic conferences, like the one in Seoul in September. Although there’s no catechism the two networks are abstracted entities, accord is a audible possibility. The Ethereum Foundation has alike provided allotment for ETC Cooperative in adjustment to ensure the network’s abiding operational capacity.

The 51% advance – or ‘reorg‘  – at the alpha of the year did abundant to accident Ethereum Classic’s acceptability amid the added community. It will be an acclivous attempt for the arrangement to achieve some of its credibility.

While an accord with ETH may go adjoin what some see as the accomplished point of ETC, they may accept actual little best in the end.
