Ethereum (ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) without any downtime, fraud, or interference. Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum goes beyond Bitcoin by allowing programmable code to be executed on the blockchain. Its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), is used to power transactions and applications on the network.
Ethereum introduced the concept of smart contracts ⚙️— self-executing contracts with the terms directly written in code. It supports DeFi apps, NFTs 🎨, games 🎮, and more. With the upgrade to Ethereum 2.0, the platform transitioned from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake 🔐, making it more energy-efficient ⚡ and scalable.
Ethereum continues to lead the Web3 revolution 🌐 by empowering a trustless, decentralized internet, where users control their data and assets.
ETH is not just a currency, it’s the future of digital innovation.
