Ethereum ($ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, it is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap after Bitcoin. Ethereum's native token, Ether, is used for transactions and computational services on the network. The platform is transitioning to Ethereum 2.0, shifting from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) to improve scalability, security, and energy efficiency. Ethereum is a cornerstone of decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and Web3 innovations, making it a key player in the blockchain ecosystem.$ETH
