This split occurred due to a disagreement over the handling of a hack that resulted in the theft of millions of ETH. As a result, a portion of the Ethereum community decided to continue supporting the original blockchain, which became Ethereum Classic. Another split that took place in 2015 was the creation of Bitcoin Classic (BTC) from Bitcoin (BTC). Bitcoin Classic aimed to increase the block size limit of Bitcoin, but it ultimately did not gain widespread support and faded away over time.
