EVM Compatible

Build on Ethereum Classic

The Olympia upgrade closes the final EVM gaps — Hardhat, Foundry, wagmi, viem, and ethers.js work on Ethereum Classic without modification, just like on Ethereum mainnet. Deploy your contracts to a network with immutability, code is law, and a continuous production record since July 2015.

Fukuii

Recommended

Ethereum Classic's first native client — an EVM execution client in Scala 3 LTS on Pekko Typed Actors, running on the JVM. One binary runs several networks at once in one JVM process, each isolated with its own state, its own metrics registry, and its own configuration; a further network is configuration, not a new client.

Core-Geth

A go-ethereum derivative maintained for Ethereum Classic, carried through the Olympia upgrade for network continuity. etclabscore/core-geth v1.12.x was unmaintained June 2024–March 2026 (21 months), accumulating six unpatched CVEs that were actively exploited against ETC mainnet bootnodes. All CVEs patched by White B0x at ethereumclassic/core-geth, pending release as v1.13.0.
