$ETH token of the Smart Contract Platform Ethereum and it boasts many projects built on it. Ethereum was the second Crypto that I learned back in 2016.

I personally stopped working on Ethereum because of the high Gas fees. The second thing to push me away from Ethereum is the move from POW (Proof of Work) to Staking protocol.
