Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Founded in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum has its own cryptocurrency called Ether (ETH). It allows developers to build and deploy self-executing contracts with specific rules, automating various processes. Ethereum's decentralized nature and security features make it a popular choice for various industries, including finance, gaming, and art. Its potential applications include decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and more, making it a significant player in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. Ethereum continues to evolve with upgrades.
