Ethereum (ETH) - The Leading Smart Contract Platform
Ethereum (ETH) is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). It was proposed in 2013 by Vitalik Buterin and launched in 2015.
Key Features of Ethereum
- Smart Contracts: Self-executing contracts with predefined rules.
- Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM): A runtime environment for executing smart contracts.
- Decentralized Applications (dApps): Applications running on the blockchain without intermediaries.
- ERC-20 Tokens: A standard for creating fungible tokens on Ethereum.
- Proof-of-Stake (PoS): Ethereum transitioned from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to PoS with the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade.
Ethereum Use Cases
- Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
- Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)
- Supply Chain Management
- Gaming and Metaverse
Ethereum vs. Bitcoin
| Feature | Ethereum (ETH) | Bitcoin (BTC) |
| Primary Use | Smart Contracts & dApps | Digital Gold & Payments |
| Consensus Mechanism | Proof-of-Stake (PoS) | Proof-of-Work (PoW) |
| Block Time | ~12 seconds | ~10 minutes |
Ethereum Gas Fees
Transactions on Ethereum require gas fees, paid in ETH, to compensate for computational resources. High network congestion can lead to increased fees.
