Ethereum $ETH is a decentralized, open-source blockchain network launched in 2015 that expanded on Bitcoin's foundational technology by introducing smart contracts self-executing agreements with the terms directly written into code.
This programmability allows developers to build and deploy a vast ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms without relying on central intermediaries.
The network's native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), is used to incentivize developers, secure the network through a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, and pay for the computational power commonly referred to as "gas"required to execute transactions and smart contracts.
Instead of a central authority, it relies on a public, distributed ledger called a blockchain, which securely records and verifies every transaction through a network of computers using cryptography.
With a built-in scarcity capped at a maximum supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is highly resistant to censorship and inflation, causing it to evolve from an experimental alternative payment system into a widely recognized digital asset often referred to as "digital gold."
