How Ethereum works
Ethereum has introduced the concept of a blockchain smart contract platform, which allows for creating a programmable contract. Through this smart contract, two counterparties are able to set conditions of a transaction without needing to trust another third party for the execution. People who use these smart contracts for their transactions will pay a network fee in the form of Ether. In addition to smart contracts, Ethereumโs blockchain is able to host other cryptocurrencies, called โtokensโ, through the use of its ERC20 compatibility standard.
