Ethereum (Ethereum) is currently the world’s most influential open-source blockchain platform, launched by Vitalik Buterin in 2015. Unlike Bitcoin, it is not only a carrier for digital currency, but also a “global computer.” Its core technology, **smart contracts**, enables developers to build decentralized applications (DApps) on the chain, driving explosive growth across areas such as DeFi, NFTs, and RWA.
In 2022, Ethereum transitioned to a proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism through the “Merge,” significantly reducing energy consumption by more than 99%. As infrastructure for the Web3 world, ETH is not only the fuel for paying network transaction fees (Gas), but has also evolved into a hard asset with deflationary potential. Despite facing scalability challenges, its large developer ecosystem and ongoing protocol upgrades have continued to firmly secure its undisputed leading position in the public blockchain space.
