List of Ethereum forks

[Michael71]

Here is a list of altcoins based on Ethereum. Their code is a fork of go-ethereum.

Each of them can be used as a digital assets platform, and can run smart-contracts.

They are ordered by rank on Coinmarketcap.


Ethereum Classic

There are a few of other projects I didn't mentioned for some reasons (not listed on Coinmarketcap or very small market cap, no bitcointalk thread, no source code, ...).

your list consists of legit ethereum forks and its better not to add eth forks that arent listed on coinmarketcap or the ones with very low volumes because so far there are many scam eth forks that are built to lure investors and bounty hunters to make money
here are some other good ones
Ether-1
Etheroll
Ethereum blue
Ethereumcash

[coaprotet]

I did not know that there are so many ETH forks, but lets face the reality. 90 percent of them are just useless, after the fork people quickly sold a new coin and moved forward, the only coin that is still alive is ETC.

[masterrex]

Honestly i dont like any hardforks specially when it was resulted into new coin into existence. I think fork copycats is just after for easy money. Well thats my personal opinion about some forks, but if the fork was intended to upgrade for the better of the existing coin, thats fine and we should support it. In your list of Ethereum forks. i see it on CMC already that means those forks was already traded and also contributed in the entire CryptoMarketCap im sure the team behind those forks are already making money.

[wanted sliter]

Nice to have a summary.
It's quite a long time ago. Every single segwit of a coin would make it be pumped like crazy.
There's a time that we just need to buy the coin that going to segwit next few days to make profit

Anyway, ETH is still a very evolutionary coin. I Don't think it would stop here

[Samayuki]

The best eth fork on your list is ethereum classic,i wont trust fork coins of i were you because 99% of them are scam or useless pump and dump tokens just like many shitcoins in crypto space,id rather divert my attention on ETH DAPPS and Tron dapps than ETH forks

[Febo]

Really?  So many. I am surprised there are only this many. I understand that some are not on cmc and skipped, but i still expected many many more that are on cmc.

[btc-facebook]

EtherInc is also included, it's just that the team didn't take serious steps for their project, so the price fell very deeply.
and the actual expanse project is good, I am still following the expanse project, because expanse is the first project to use the ETH smart contract. if I'm not mistaken, if wrong can be justified, because I have read it like that.

[janggernaut]

From those ethereum forks, only ethereum classic can be considered as success like bitcoincash (it forked from bitcoin). For other token forks, it's just like to earn easy money purpose since those aren't active after it forked

[Flor1982]

I think we are already crowded here in Altcoins market in which the more the Altcoins will be introduce is the more the crypto investors to become smaller. I suggest that we should focus our investments in Ethereum and some Altcoins with feasible platforms not on these Ethreum forks.

[Greatchu]

This is the list of some new eth forks as the devs claim and they are trading already but with very low volume,but few ones are worth checking out,Etheera did 440% pump in the last 24hours but mind you this is not an investment advice,DYOR

Etheera
Ethinc
Ethariya
Ethereum Gold
Ethereum Lite

[Michael71]

Yes, I considered adding EtherInc, they seemed to have a good team.

Unfortunately the market cap is very low, it's hard to say if the project is still alive : https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/etherinc/

Yes, there are some of them, which are not on this CMC list. Before, Ethereum forks affected the price of ETH, but now, everything has changed. Now, people do not even notice the difference between "before" and "after" the fork  Ethereum price. The number of the forks will be cut sufficiently with time, and some of them (on the list already) will vanish as they are still useless.

Quite a lot of forks there with only about two performing above par unlike the Bitcoin forks. Etherinc showed alot of promise last year and I thought it was the best break out coins but I am surprised that its hardly alive today

It's really lazy to call everything a "scam" retrospectively from mid-2019...
But in 2017, Ethereum forks were hot and a LOT of money was stacked by hard working traders...
Some of these projects had talented devs and are still in active development.

UBQ was able to list tokens like DOT, APX, GEO and is still worth $5 million...
PIRL has great devs and keeps rolling out new features.

Several of these projects got crushed by the Cryptopia fraud.

Are all those PIVX forks doing better? Oh, they all went to zero. Too bad.

but among them.... honestly Ubiq is the best.... they already move out from ethereum ....using Ubiqhash..

for me Pirl is trash...... they are doing shit now.......slowly dying

[Byakuga]

Not all forks are really forks, some projects share names with Ethereum just to make people think that it's real fork of Ethereum whereas they ain't, these projects will even say it on their website that they are Ethereum fork, it's not true, the only Ethereum fork I know of is Eth classic

[RDNX]

In the past, I still remember mining a few coins above, such as PIRL and EXPENSE.
Both coins are still very expensive. But now it's very sad, it's been very difficult to get back to a good price.
