Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum (ETH) is a decentralized platform that enables developers to create and run applications without relying on a central authority. It uses blockchain technology—a secure digital ledger—to record transactions transparently and immutably. Unlike traditional currencies, ETH is both a digital currency and a fuel for executing smart contracts, which are self-executing agreements that automatically carry out terms. This allows for innovative applications like decentralized finance and digital assets. Ethereum aims to create a more open and secure internet infrastructure, where users have greater control over their data and transactions.
