ETCC Blockchain Alliance was established to implement the ETC decentralization ideal

The ideal behind any big thing is important and must be just. This ideal needs to be in line with human expectations for the future: to make society better, life richer, technology more advanced, and humans freer! Alibaba's "making it easy to do business anywhere" and Google's "integrating the world's information so that everyone can access and benefit from it" are examples of this principle. Therefore, the right ideal is the key factor in making things great.

ETC (Ethereum Classic) is not just a virtual currency or a smart contract platform. ETC is an ideal and a movement. This ideal is the decentralization, censorship resistance and immutability of blockchain, and this movement is the belief in the basic core values ​​of blockchain. ETC was born as a currency and a smart contract platform on July 30, 2015, and as an ideal and movement it began on July 20, 2016, when the Ethereum Foundation (Ethereum Classic) executed a hard fork. The birth of the ETC movement is a victory for the community and a victory for the ideal. In the month since the movement began, people's love and support for ETC fully demonstrates the greatness of the ideal. The ETC movement is just, the future development direction of blockchain, and the mainstream. Technology and morality have always been hot topics. The application of a technology can be multifaceted. We do not deny that a certain degree of centralized blockchain will also have its market, and we recognize the diversity of technology. As time goes on, the value of blockchain will be more than just a technology. The revolutionary significance it brings to human society will surpass its achievements in the field of science and technology, and will make human society better, more open, and freer. Blockchain technology will not only be a record book and a computing platform, but also make it easier for people to obtain information, more effectively uphold justice, and more simply obtain freedom through the derivative development of blockchain technology. Its essential meaning is to make the path for people to pursue a better future clearer, smoother, and narrower the knowledge gap. In scientific and technological terms, it means reducing the friction between interactors (people and organizations in society), or moving towards a frictionless direction (Frictionless). This is the significance of the ETC ideal, and the ETC community is the initiator and promoter of this ideal. This spirit will always guide the ETC community and ecological participants to explore the future possibilities of blockchain, have a positive impact on the world, and bring people confidence and inspiration.

The ETCC Blockchain Alliance is a decentralized blockchain organization established at the initiative of Roy and other core members of the ETC community. Its purpose is to promote the core values ​​of blockchain: decentralization, anti-censorship and immutability. The blockchain protocol will not be changed for the benefit or mistake of any individual or group. The blockchain will operate according to the established protocol settings, reject censorship or third-party intervention, and accept every person or organization. Any individual and group can use the blockchain to build applications, making it truly provide an open, transparent, neutral, and anti-censorship platform for everyone, bringing unlimited possibilities for the future of mankind.

ETCC is different from all other current blockchain organizations. All people or organizations that agree with this spirit can join, while other blockchain organizations are so far commercial organizations or industry technology alliances, such as R3 CEV, Hyperledge, etc. ETCC is the world's first decentralized blockchain organization. This decentralized organization is an extension of the decentralized spirit of blockchain. We are committed to building a decentralized blockchain ecosystem, including decentralized blockchains, communities and organizations, and have higher ideals, so that blockchain can bring benefits to the entire human society. The innovation of science and technology will be the internal driving force for the advancement of human society and the most effective way for human society to become better.
