#ETH

Ethereum ($ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is programmable, allowing developers to build a wide range of applications. Its native cryptocurrency, Ether, is used to pay for transaction fees (gas). In 2022, Ethereum transitioned to a proof-of-stake system through “The Merge,” reducing energy consumption significantly. It plays a key role in powering DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 innovations. With ongoing upgrades like sharding and layer-2 solutions, Ethereum aims to become more scalable, secure, and efficient. It remains a cornerstone of the blockchain ecosystem. #Ethereum #ETH #Crypto #Web3 $ETH
