#ETHE Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and other co-founders, Ethereum introduced the concept of programmable blockchain beyond simple transactions. Its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), is used to power operations on the network, including transaction fees and computational services. Unlike Bitcoin, which primarily serves as a digital currency, Ethereum provides a flexible framework for a wide range of applications, from decentralized finance (DeFi) to non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The platform transitioned from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism with the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade, significantly improving its energy efficiency and scalability. Ethereum remains a key player in the cryptocurrency space, continuously evolving through upgrades like "The Merge" and "Sharding," aiming to enhance speed, security, and affordability for its global community of users and developers.
