Ethereum Classic and Ethereum share a ledger history up to the 2016 split that followed the DAO hack. Today they have separate ledgers and currencies. A contract or balance on Ethereum does not appear on Ethereum Classic just because both networks use the same address format.
ETC pays for transactions and contract calls. Ethereum Classic uses proof of work, so miners compete to add blocks. The chain has its own issuance schedule, which reduces the mining reward over time.
Wallets and exchanges may list ETC and ETH side by side. When transferring ETC, check that both ends name Ethereum Classic. The price on this page follows ETC, while the Ethereum profile explains how ETH and its proof-of-stake network work.
