Description
Ethereum (ETH) is a global, decentralized platform that introduced the world to "smart contracts," which are self-executing agreements written in code. It serves as the foundation for the majority of the world's decentralized applications (dApps), including DeFi protocols and NFT marketplaces. Following its transition to Proof of Stake, the network has become significantly more energy-efficient while maintaining its role as the leading ecosystem for innovation. The native token, Ether, is used to pay for the computational "gas" required to execute transactions and interact with the network.
