**Ethereum (ETH): Powering the Future of Decentralized Technology**
Ethereum is more than just a cryptocurrency — it’s a decentralized computing platform that is transforming the way we interact with the digital world. Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and a team of visionary developers, Ethereum introduced smart contracts: self-executing agreements that run on blockchain technology.
Unlike Bitcoin, which focuses on peer-to-peer transactions, Ethereum enables developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) across finance, gaming, NFTs, and beyond. It’s the foundation for much of the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) and Web3 revolution.
With its recent upgrade to Ethereum 2.0 — moving from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) — the network has drastically reduced its energy consumption while improving scalability and security. This makes ETH more sustainable and future-ready.
Ethereum’s native token, ETH, is used for transaction fees, staking, and as a store of value. As demand for blockchain applications grows, Ethereum continues to play a critical role in shaping the next era of the internet.
Whether you're an investor, developer, or crypto enthusiast, Ethereum remains one of the most powerful ecosystems in the blockchain space.
