$ETH
Ethereum (ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform known for its smart contract functionality, enabling developers to create decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum introduced the concept of programmable blockchain, revolutionizing industries like finance, gaming, and supply chain. It transitioned to Ethereum 2.0 with a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism, improving scalability, security, and energy efficiency. ETH, the platform's native cryptocurrency, is widely used for transactions, DeFi applications, and NFTs. As blockchain adoption grows, Ethereum continues to evolve, shaping the future of decentralized technology.
