ETC Cooperative Q1 2021 Transparency Report
We’re excited to present you with this year’s First Quarter ECC Transparency Report. At the ETC Cooperative, we believe transparency is paramount to groups and firms in the digital asset space. The ECC provides users with a vast amount of the organization’s transparency by releasing quarterly reports and shorter monthly board packages.
Below we will provide an update on the ECC’s budget and financials, an overview of the major milestones achieved in Q1, and what we envision for Ethereum Classic in our 2021 Roadmap.
- Published the 2020 ECC Retrospective plus the January and February Monthly Board Packages.
- The budget will largely remain the same for 2021, with some funding provided for additional development support, especially given the rise in price; may possibly have the opportunity for to attend more conferences and hold meetups of our own.

The ETC Cooperative has made great strides towards its goals and has already hit many milestones. Our report covers the budget and Q1 financials, as well as our roadmap including what we have planned for the Ethereum Classic project. Project Phoenix is the code name given to the plan we will use to successfully accomplish adding a Treasury, and new mining algorithm Keccak. We want to reduce as much risk as possible to prevent any contentious fracturing of the network or project itself.
