What is Ethereum?

Ethereum is the world's leading programmable blockchain platform, enabling developers to build and deploy decentralized applications and smart contracts. Since its launch in 2015, Ethereum has become the foundation for the DeFi ecosystem and the broader Web3 movement.

Key Features of Ethereum

• Smart Contracts: Ethereum pioneered the concept of self-executing smart contracts, enabling automated, trustless agreements and applications.
• Decentralized Applications: The platform hosts thousands of dApps across various sectors including DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and social networks.
• ERC Standards: Ethereum introduced standardized token protocols, like ERC-20 and ERC-721 that have become the industry standard for digital assets.
• Proof of Stake: After the Merge in 2022, Ethereum transitioned to a more energy-efficient Proof of Stake consensus mechanism.
• Layer 2 Solutions: While Ethereum itself provides security and decentralization, various Layer 2 solutions have been built on top to improve scalability and reduce costs.
