$ETH, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain, plays a vital role in powering the world’s leading smart contract platform. Unlike Bitcoin, which primarily serves as digital gold, Ethereum enables developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) for finance, gaming, social media, and more. With its transition to a Proof of Stake consensus via Ethereum 2.0, ETH has become more energy-efficient and scalable. It is used to pay for transactions, smart contract execution, and staking. As the backbone of DeFi, NFTs, and the broader Web3 movement, Ethereum continues to be a cornerstone of innovation in the crypto ecosystem.
