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 execution layer client in Scala 3 — native Proof-of-Work consensus for Ethereum Classic and Mordor, plus Engine API V1–V4 for post-Merge Ethereum. Pairs with Lighthouse, Prysm, Teku, Lodestar, or Nimbus to run Sepolia and ETH mainnet. One binary, four networks. The primary ETC client for the Olympia era.
