Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), serves as both a digital currency and a means to pay for transaction fees and computational services on the network. In September 2022, Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, significantly reducing its energy consumption. As of February 22, 2025, ETH is trading at approximately $2,781.27. Recently, Ethereum faced challenges, including a $1.5 billion hack of the Bybit exchange, where approximately 401,000 ETH were stolen. Buy and watch
