Ethereum (ETH) is a decentralized blockchain platform enabling smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and co-founders, it introduced programmable money and Web3 infrastructure.
Key Features:
✔ Smart Contracts — Self-executing code enabling trustless agreements (DeFi, NFTs, DAOs).
✔ Decentralized Apps (dApps) — Censorship-resistant applications running on blockchain.
✔ Ether (ETH) — Native cryptocurrency used for fees ("gas") and network security.
✔ Proof-of-Stake (PoS) — Since 2022, Ethereum uses energy-efficient staking (vs Bitcoin’s PoW).
✔ Scalability Solutions — Layer 2 networks (Arbitrum, Optimism) reduce fees and speed up transactions.
Use Cases:
DeFi (Uniswap, Aave) — Decentralized lending, trading.
NFTs (OpenSea) — Digital ownership and collectibles.
Web3 — Identity, storage, and social platforms.
Enterprise Solutions — Supply chain, tokenized assets.
Technical Foundation:
EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) — Executes smart contracts across the network.
Staking — Validators secure the network by locking ETH (yielding ~3-5% APR).
Upgrades: The Merge (PoS transition), Dencun (proto-danksharding for L2s).
Alternatives: Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC).
