I have a couple of questions:

  1. How can I determine the amount of Smart Contracts that are hosted on the ETC blockchain?

  2. Of these smart contracts, how many of them have been verified?

I guess geth is necessary for this, but I am not sure. Thanks in advance.

    how do you define verified ? – Nulik Sep 4 '18 at 21:53

    @Nulik Good question. I think the scope of the question can be broadened to all smart contracts, regardless if they are verified or not. Thanks a lot. – Elías De La Rosa Sep 4 '18 at 21:59

I think you are confusing the Ethereum (Classic) blockchain and a general block explorer. The blockchain simply holds the data and state of everything that has ever happened. A block explorer is a visual representation of all of the data from the blockchain, as getting data directly from the blockchain for every query is highly inefficient.

how can I determine the amount of Smart Contracts that are hosted on the ETC blockchain?

There are a few ways to do this, but will be difficult. The most efficient way would be to write a script that scans the blockchain for each instance of a contract creation.

You can use geth for this, but there are other options, if desired.

Also, of these smart contracts, how many of them have been verified?

"Verified" is strictly a statistic created by the hosts of block explorers. There is no such thing as a verified contract from the perspective of the blockchain. I am not sure there is a block explorer that does Verify contracts for ETC.

    Shane: thanks for your answer. I was already clear on the difference between a blockchain and a block explorer. Regarding the script: do you have any idea of doing it? Thanks again. – Elías De La Rosa Sep 4 '18 at 21:40
  • You can use this answer. If a transaction is sent to 0x00... it could be a contract. If you check the receipt, you will see a contract address if it is a contract. – shane Sep 4 '18 at 21:44
