Ethereum
Decentralized and open-source, Ethereum is a blockchain that supports smart contracts. The platform’s native cryptocurrency is ether, abbreviated as ETH.
- Ether’s market capitalization is second only to bitcoin’s among cryptocurrencies. Vitalik Buterin, a programmer, invented Ethereum in 2013. Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson, Anthony Di Iorio, and Joseph Lubin were among the Ethereum co-founders.
- Crowdfunding for development work began in 2014, and the network opened on July 30, 2015. On Ethereum, anyone can create permanent and immutable decentralized applications that let users communicate with them.
- Decentralized finance (Defi) applications provide a wide range of financial services without the use of traditional financial intermediaries such as brokerages, exchanges, or banks, such as allowing cryptocurrency owners to borrow money against their holdings or lend them out for interest.
- Users of Ethereum could also create and exchange NFTs, which are distinctive tokens that symbolize ownership of a related asset or privilege and are recognized by a range of institutions. The name for Ethereum units is “Ether.”
