Ethereum Blockchain
Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts (self-executing agreements with the terms directly written into code). Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum extends beyond Bitcoin’s functionality by supporting decentralized applications (DApps) across a distributed network. It operates on its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), which is used to compensate participants and incentivize network security. Through its ability to create programmable contracts and applications, Ethereum has become the foundation for many innovations, including decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and other blockchain-based services.
