在加密货币空间快速增长后，许多新玩家进入场景， 并且在滚动一个按市场上限排序的项目列表时，一些人注意到一个名为 Ethereum Classic 的区块链。
They see a name and logo that is similar to the famous Ethereum™ and may assume that this Classic thing is some sort of copy-cat project trying to cash in on ETH's success. In a market saturated with such projects, and with limited research time, many people may reasonably give Ethereum Classic a pass without much thought. 在这类项目饱和的市场中，在研究时间有限的情况下，许多人可以合理地给以以太坊经典的通行证，而不加思考。 在这类项目饱和的市场中，在研究时间有限的情况下，许多人可以合理地给以以太坊经典的通行证，而不加思考。
但有些人像你自己一样决定潜伏更深，他们发现一些令人感兴趣的事实，这些事实最初起到怀疑的作用。 But some, like yourself, decide to dive a little deeper, and they discover some interesting facts that debunk that initial skepticism. Their journey down the rabbit hole begins when they find out that Ethereum Classic is not a clone of Ethereum™, but a continuation of the original Ethereum launched in 2015, which The Ethereum Foundation forked away from by launching a new protocol one year later in 2016.
Applications on Ethereum Classic have been operating uninterrupted for a year longer than on Ethereum™, making ETC the longest running and most reliable Smart Contract Platform. More importantly, Ethereum Classic has never and will never stop or interfere with Smart Contracts deployed to it, as unstoppability is what makes blockchains useful and valuable. 更重要的是，“太空经典”从来没有、也永远不会停止或干扰向它部署的智能合同。 因为不可阻挡是使区块链有用和有价值的。
Unlike Ethereum™, on Classic, Code is Law. This means that "applications run exactly as programmed without downtime, censorship, or third party interference." Ethereum Classic has evolved its ability to deliver on this promise by maxing-out the characteristics that yield decentralization, unstoppability, and censorship resistance against strong external forces. It is the only major Smart Contract Platform that has proven its ability to uphold this promise. 这意味着“申请完全按照程序进行，而不受停顿、审查或第三方干预。” 《以太古经典》通过扩大导致权力下放的特征，发展了实现这一承诺的能力。 这意味着“申请完全按照程序进行，而不受停顿、审查或第三方干预。” 《以太古经典》通过扩大导致权力下放的特征，发展了实现这一承诺的能力。 • 对强大的外部力量进行检查和抵制。 这是证明有能力信守这一承诺的唯一一个主要的智能合同平台。
