Ethereum (ETH) is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, after Bitcoin. Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and others, Ethereum is more than just digital money—it’s a decentralized platform for building and running smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Unlike Bitcoin, which mainly serves as a store of value, Ethereum enables programmable transactions without intermediaries. It transitioned from a proof-of-work (PoW) to a proof-of-stake (PoS) system with the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade (The Merge), reducing energy usage significantly. ETH is used to pay for transactions and computational services on the network. Ethereum continues to evolve, powering DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 innovation.
