Here is a comprehensive analysis of **Ethereum (ETH)**, focusing on technical, economic aspects, challenges, and the future

### **1. Technical Fundamentals**

- **Smart Blockchain**: Ethereum is not just a digital currency, but a decentralized platform for running **Smart Contracts** and **dApps** applications.

- **Consensus Mechanism**: Transitioned from "Proof of Work" (PoW) to "Proof of Stake" (PoS) in 2022 ("The Merge" update), reducing energy consumption by ~99.95%.

- **Major Updates**:

- **Sharding**: To increase capacity by splitting the network into parts.

- **Proto-Danksharding** (EIP-4844): To reduce transaction costs through "Blob Transactions".

- **Verkle Trees**: To improve storage efficiency

# **2. Economic Aspects**

*Circulating Supply**: ~120 million ETH (no maximum cap, but current annual inflation is ≈ 0.25% due to "burning" through **EIP-1559** mechanism).

- **Demand**: Driven by gas (Gas) to execute smart contracts, creating organic demand.

- **Market Capitalization**: ≈ $405 billion (second largest currency after Bitcoin, June 2025 data).

### **3. Strengths**

- **Leadership in Applications**: Hosts >3,400 dApp (such as Uniswap, Aave, MakerDAO).

- **Decentralized Finance (DeFi)**: Ethereum represents ≈ 55% of Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi.

- **Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)**: ~95% of NFT trading occurs on its network.

- **Developer Community**: Largest ecosystem in the crypto space (4,000+ developers)
