Tokenomics

ETC is expected to reduce production on May 1, when its block reward will be by 20% to 2.56 ETC.

In addition, since ETH is expected to switch to a PoS consensus mechanism in the next few months, its current version of PoW computing power will also flow to other public chains, and ETC is expected to take a piece of the pie and grow the network.

About ETC Block Rewards Reduction

On 11 December 2017, the total supply of Ether on Ethereum Classic was hard capped at ETC 210,700,000 via the Gotham hard fork upgrade. This added a bitcoin-inspired deflationary emission schedule that is documented in Ethereum Classic Improvement Proposal (ECIP) 1017. The emission schedule, also known as "5M20", reduces the block reward by 20% every 5,000,000 blocks. Socially, this block reward reduction event has taken the moniker of "the fifthening."
