$ETH ChatGPT

Ethereum ($ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and others, Ethereum introduced programmability to blockchain technology, allowing developers to build on-chain logic beyond simple transactions. Its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), powers transactions and secures the network through staking since the transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) with Ethereum 2.0. Ethereum supports innovations in DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and more. Despite competition from other blockchains, it remains a dominant force in Web3 development due to its robust ecosystem, strong developer community, and continuous scalability upgrades like rollups.
