$ETH
Ethereum (ETH) is a powerful, decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum goes beyond simple transactions by offering programmable functionality through its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH). It’s widely used in sectors like DeFi (Decentralized Finance), NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), and gaming. With the transition to Ethereum 2.0 and Proof of Stake, the network aims to be more scalable, secure, and environmentally friendly. ETH remains a cornerstone of the crypto ecosystem, driving innovation and enabling a more open, decentralized internet known as Web3.
