Ethereum Classis is the longest-running Smart Contract blockchain in existence. It's based on a mathematically verified Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), like the Ethereum (that's actually a hard fork of Ethereum Classic). Both run on the same protocol supporting the same functionality, the difference is in the community and the ideology behind. The Ethereum blockchain split in two after the infamous DAO hack (11.5 million Ether that was $50 million in 2016 was stolen due to an error in the program) and two brands emerged. The majority of the community decided to create a hard fork to perform a rollback on the blockchain to reverse the transactions (and to return the stolen investments to the DAO investors); this is how the Ethereum we all know came into existence.
About 10% of the community was strongly against such a decision, claiming that one of the strengths of the blockchain is supposed to be immutability, resistance to any form of censorship, etc. Some miners continued to mine the "old Ethereum" chain so as to not compromise on immutability; this is how the Ethereum Classic came into existence. A fundamental aspect of ETC is that the ETC accounts can't be modified by anybody (but the account holders), the platform is free of any form of governance; the history of the cryptocurrency confirms that. There are few developer teams working on the Ethereum Classic software; ETC is supported by some well-known persons and companies in the Cryptocurrency industry, like the Grayscale Investments, Digital Currency Group (the CEO Barry Silbert is one of the biggest proponents of ETC).
