Ethereum launched in July 2015 and allows for turing-complete programming and decentralized applications to run on its blockchain. It had an ICO in August 2014 that raised 18 million BTC. Ethereum Classic was created in July 2016 as a hard fork from Ethereum to maintain the original blockchain without changes after a theft. Zcash launched in October 2016 and uses zero-knowledge proofs to provide privacy and anonymity for transactions on its blockchain, with no ICO and a limited initial supply.
