The upcoming Ethereum Classic Agharta hard fork will include features of the Ethereum Constantinople fork and intends to make ETC fully compatible with Ethereum.

In a press release shared with Cointelegraph on Dec. 26, ETC Labs further confirmed its intention to ensure full compatibility between ETC and ETH, as the coming Agharta update is expected to create backward compatibility between the two networks.

"Ethereum Classic Labs is one of the first incubators to support innovative projects on the Ethereum Classic Blockchain. The compatibility between the ETC network and the ETH network will accelerate development of the Ethereum Classic community and ecosystem."

"This update is a signal that we want to be compatible with Ethereum. We believe in the success of public blockchains, because they are built on the strength of the community."

"Core developers agreed to activate Agharta on mainnet at block 9 573 000 which is expected around Jan. 15, 2020," Lohja said.
