$ETH

Ethereum, often described as a decentralized world computer, is more than just a

cryptocurrency. It's a groundbreaking platform that enables the creation of decentralized

applications (dApps) and smart contracts. These self-executing contracts with the terms of the

agreement directly written into code have revolutionized various industries, from finance (DeFi)

to art (NFTs).

Launched in 2015, Ethereum has fostered a vast ecosystem of innovative projects. Its native

cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), powers the network and is the second-largest cryptocurrency by

market capitalization. While facing challenges like scalability and high gas fees, ongoing

developments like the transition to Ethereum 2.0 (now the Merge) aim to address these issues

and enhance its efficiency and sustainability. Ethereum continues to be a pivotal force driving

the evolution of Web3 and blockchain technology.
