Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform designed for launching smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). It was proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and launched in 2015. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is not only intended for transferring value but also for executing program code without intermediaries. Smart contracts automatically execute the terms of agreements, increasing transparency and security. The platform uses its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), to pay for fees and transactions. Ethereum underpins the DeFi, NFT, and Web3 ecosystems, supporting innovation and global digital services.
