As the ETH POS merger date is getting closer, the discussion on ETHPOW has never stopped. The faction represented by Bao Erye believes that a new ETHW should be forked, and the market value of the new ETHW will be higher than that of ETC, which can reach 1/3 to 1/10 of the market value of Ethereum; there are also some big miners such as Bitmain who are willing to contribute Migrating to ETC, its mining pool AntPool invested $10 million to support the ETC ecosystem. In addition, mainstream exchanges have not formed a unified opinion on any potential forks of ETHW. Most of them are strategies of watching while walking, and continue to track to evaluate whether to support ETHW. But for retail investors, it doesn't seem to matter. After all, making money is the first benefit, and there is room for speculation when there is enthusiasm.

Under the wave of mergers and forks of Ethereum, the husband chain Ethereum Classic was rekindled, and ETC became one of the tokens with the highest increase in the past two months, and it was also stronger than ETH. The ecology on the ETC chain has also gradually attracted the attention of more POW miners and large households/institutions with a development attitude towards ETHPOW. Its entire network computing power has recently approached 50 TH/s and hit a record high. However, for a long time, due to concerns about the underlying technology, 51% attacks, and disharmony among miners, the ecological development of ETC has been extremely slow. With the recent increase in popularity, some developers have also entered the construction of the ETC ecosystem. Let's learn about the projects currently under construction on ETC with the author.

HENS（HebeBlock）

The number of Twitter followers is 9313, TG members are 4722, and Discord members are 509

The full name of HENS is Ethereum Classic Name Service, which was added to the ETC official website ecosystem collection on February 21, 2022. It is a domain name service provider on ETC. Its business model is similar to ENS. It captures value by selling .etc domain names and domain name renewals. It is one of the few protocols in the ETC ecosystem with a reliable source of income. Recently, ENS's short-digit domain names are extremely popular, and there are still a large number of three- and four-digit domain names that have not been registered on HENS. If the ETC ecology develops in the future, the role of domain names will gradually emerge. Currently, it takes less than 1 ETC to register a three-digit domain name for a year.

Suspected Rug Pull:XAR Network、Portal.Network

With the popularity of ETHPOW, there are indeed some developers who have entered the ETC ecological construction, but it can be found that the overall ETC chain is still in the desert, and the overall TVL is only one million dollars. Among the 38 protocols officially listed, there are nearly double-digit projects suspected of Rug Pull, and more products/protocols in operation are of poor quality, basically in a state of no interest or use. At present, the products that are still barely usable are mainly built by HebeBlock or EthClassicDAO. If more POW miners enter ETC in the future, in addition to building from scratch, there may be some funds for deep cultivation around these two products. But on the other hand, the lack of well-known projects has also hindered the entry of large funds.
