What is Ethereum Classic difficulty?
Ethereum Classic mining difficulty measures how hard it is to find the next valid block hash. The network retargets difficulty every 2,016 blocks (~two weeks) to keep average block times near 13 seconds.
When more hashrate joins the network, difficulty rises so blocks are not found too quickly. When miners leave, difficulty falls. Use our ETC mining calculator to see how difficulty and price affect your daily profit.
Ethereum Classic difficulty FAQ
Direct answers about ETC difficulty, what moves it, and what it means for mining returns - figures update with live CoinWarz data.
What is Ethereum Classic mining difficulty?
Ethereum Classic mining difficulty measures how much work is required to find a valid ETC block. It is a dimensionless number - currently about 2.45P on CoinWarz - that the network raises or lowers so blocks keep arriving roughly every 13 seconds regardless of how much Ethash hashpower is online.
What is the current ETC difficulty?
ETC difficulty is approximately 2.45P in the latest CoinWarz snapshot. That is up about 27.6% over the last 30 days. The chart and daily history table on this page track every recorded change.
How often does Ethereum Classic difficulty change?
Ethereum Classic retargets automatically to hold its 13 seconds block time target. When Ethash miners join the network blocks come in early and difficulty rises; when they leave, blocks slow and difficulty falls. The daily history below shows the realised pace of those adjustments rather than a fixed calendar schedule.
Does higher ETC difficulty mean lower mining profit?
Yes, all else equal. Your share of ETC block rewards is your hashrate divided by total network hashrate, so a difficulty increase cuts the coins you mine per day at the same hashrate. Whether profit falls depends on whether the ETC price moves with it - the estimate on this page applies today's difficulty and price to your own hardware.
How are Ethereum Classic difficulty and hashrate related?
They move together. Network hashrate is estimated from difficulty and observed block times, so a sustained rise in Ethash hashpower shows up as higher difficulty within a few retargets. Compare both on the Ethereum Classic hashrate chart to see whether difficulty is catching up to hashpower or lagging behind it.
