$ETH
Ethereum (#ETH) is more than just a cryptocurrency—it's the backbone of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Since its shift to a proof-of-stake model, Ethereum has significantly reduced its energy consumption, gaining praise for its sustainability. Developers continue to build on the Ethereum network, creating DeFi platforms, NFTs, and Web3 tools. Its flexibility and innovation make it a favorite among blockchain projects. While gas fees and scalability remain concerns, ongoing upgrades like Ethereum 2.0 aim to solve these issues. As the digital economy grows, Ethereum’s role as a programmable blockchain makes it essential for the future of decentralized finance.
