In terms of fundamental drivers to explain the most recent rally, a new collaboration between Chainlink and stands out as the most impactful event. The collaboration between the two projects was announced by Ethereum Classic Labs – an ETC-focused development incubator – on Thursday, and aims to bring decentralized oracles to the Ethereum Classic network.

“Chainlink can give smart contracts access to data providers, web APIs, enterprise systems, cloud providers, [Internet of Things] devices, payment systems, and other blockchains. Importantly, Chainlink is a proven decentralized oracle network, which allows Ethereum Classic smart contracts to interact with off-chain resources with the same security guarantees as the underlying blockchain,” Ethereum Classic Labs said.

Further, the collaboration is expected to make it easier for smart contract developers to build their apps on ETC:

“This extended functionality to off-chain environments substantially scales the number of use cases smart contract developers can create using Ethereum Classic and ultimately makes it easier and more seamless for developers to build on Ethereum Classic,” James Wo, founder of Ethereum Classic Labs said.
