$ETH $ETH, or Ethereum, is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap after Bitcoin. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is more than just digital money—it’s a decentralized platform that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) to run without downtime, fraud, or third-party interference. ETH is the native currency used to power transactions and computational services on the Ethereum network. With the shift to Proof-of-Stake via Ethereum 2.0, it became more energy-efficient and scalable. ETH is vital in DeFi, NFTs, and Web3, making it a cornerstone of the blockchain ecosystem. #crypto #defi i #Web3 #SmartContracts #BlockchainRevolution
