$ETH #Ethereum

Ethereum ($ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform known for its smart contract functionality. Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, it enables developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) using self-executing contracts. $ETH, its native cryptocurrency, is used to pay for transactions and computational services on the network. Ethereum transitioned from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake in 2022, reducing its energy consumption significantly. Its robust ecosystem supports DeFi, NFTs, and gaming applications. With continuous upgrades, Ethereum aims to improve scalability, security, and sustainability, maintaining its position as a leading force in the blockchain space.
