Ethereum (ETH): Powering the Future of Decentralized Innovation
Ethereum (ETH) is a leading blockchain platform known for its smart contract functionality and robust developer ecosystem. Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and others, Ethereum enables decentralized applications (dApps) and has become the foundation for DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum supports programmable code, allowing for complex financial instruments and automated systems. With the shift to Ethereum 2.0 and proof-of-stake, the network has significantly reduced its energy consumption while increasing scalability. ETH, the platform’s native cryptocurrency, is used for transaction fees and staking. Ethereum continues to drive innovation, making it a cornerstone of the evolving digital economy.
