$ETH Ethereum ($ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and others, it has become the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency, Ether, powers transactions and smart contracts within the network. Ethereum’s transition to a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, known as Ethereum 2.0, aims to improve scalability, security, and energy efficiency. Ethereum’s versatility has made it the foundation for decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs.
