$ETH Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps).
Native Token: Ether (ETH)
Creator: Vitalik Buterin (along with co-founders)
Launch Date: July 30, 2015
Market Rank: Second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization (after Bitcoin).
Key Features of Ethereum
1. Smart Contracts
Smart contracts are self-executing programs stored on the blockchain that automatically enforce and execute agreements when predefined conditions are met, eliminating the need for intermediaries.
2. Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Consensus
Originally using Proof-of-Work (PoW), Ethereum successfully transitioned to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) during "The Merge" update in September 2022. This upgrade reduced the network's energy consumption by over 99%.
3. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) & NFTs
Ethereum serves as the primary backbone for the majority of global DeFi protocols (lending, borrowing, trading) and NFT (Non-Fungible Token) ecosystems.
4. Gas Fees
Transactions and execution of smart contracts on Ethereum require computational power. Users pay for this computation using Gas fees, which are paid in small fractions of ETH called Gwei.
