#TradeFi革命 Ethereum is the first decentralized open source blockchain with smart contract capabilities. It was first proposed by Vitalik Buterin in a white paper in late 2013 and launched in 2015.

Ethereum allows anyone to deploy decentralized smart contracts and applications. It is the foundation of an interoperable, decentralized application ecosystem driven by token economy and automated smart contracts. Assets and applications designed on Ethereum are built through self-executing smart contracts without the need for central agencies or intermediaries. The network is powered by its native cryptocurrency ETH, which is used to pay transaction fees on the network. Ethereum is open source, programmable, and censorship-resistant, and is the backbone of the decentralized Internet.
