$ETH
Ethereum is a leading blockchain platform known
for its smart contract functionality. It was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and allows developers to build decentralized applications (dApps), contributing to innovations such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). The native cryptocurrency of Ethereum, ETH, is second in market capitalization after Bitcoin. With its transition from proof of work to proof of stake (Ethereum 2.0), it has become more energy-efficient and scalable. This update enhances security and reduces gas fees, making the network more user-friendly. Ethereum continues to dominate the Web3 ecosystem, supporting thousands of projects around the world. Its future seems strong as more real-world applications and financial systems
rely on Ethereum's blockchain technology.
