Ethereum (ETH) is an open-source, decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Created by Vitalik Buterin and launched in 2015, Ethereum introduced the concept of 'programmable money' by allowing developers to write code that runs on the blockchain, unlocking countless possibilities beyond simple transactions. Ethereum's native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), is used to pay for transaction fees and computational services on the network. As the foundation for much of the decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFT ecosystems, Ethereum continues to be a leader in blockchain technology, undergoing major upgrades like the shift to Proof of Stake (PoS) to improve scalability, security, and sustainability. With a thriving developer community and extensive infrastructure, Ethereum remains one of the most influential and widely adopted blockchains.
