What is Wrapped ETC (WETC)?

Ethereum Classic runs on ETC, and ETC is the chain's native coin - which means it is not a token. Smart contracts cannot be approved to spend it, pools cannot hold it as one side of a pair, and anything built to the ERC-20 interface simply cannot see it. WETC closes that gap: lock ETC in a contract, receive the same amount as a transferable token, unwrap whenever you want to go back. The rate is one to one and stays one to one; nothing about the wrapper changes the quantity.

This is why it exists at all. Decentralised trading on Ethereum Classic needs ETC in token form, and WETC is that form. Holding it is otherwise unremarkable: it is an ordinary token on an ordinary EVM chain, and Ethereum Classic keeps proof-of-work mining, so the network your balance lives on is secured by hashpower rather than staked capital.

Two things to keep straight. WETC is not ETC and will not be credited by an exchange expecting the native coin. And it is not one of the ether wrappers on other chains that share a similar name - it belongs to Ethereum Classic and nowhere else.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Ethereum Classic.

Unwrapping, sending, approving - each of those is a transaction billed in plain ETC, so the coin and its token form need to sit side by side. Tangem holds both in one wallet and signs with a tap of the card on the phone, no cable, no battery to keep alive. Anyone who moves between the two forms regularly will find that arrangement practical.
