#ETH
Ethereum #ETH is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2015, Ethereum goes beyond simple cryptocurrency transactions by allowing programmable contracts that run exactly as coded. Its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), is used to pay for transactions and computational services on the network. Ethereum plays a key role in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem and the development of NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
