Ethereum Classic reversed the 2016 DAO hack. Answer true or false.
Answer
false
- Ethereum Classic
- the chain that split off in July 2016 and continued the pre-fork, unaltered ledger
- reversed the 2016 DAO hack
- performed a contentious hard fork that rewrote history to return the funds stolen from The DAO in June 2016 to their original owners, rather than keeping the original, unaltered ledger
