Etherium

Ethereum is a blockchain-based platform that enables developers to create and run decentralized applications (dApps) without relying on a central authority. At its core is the cryptocurrency called Ether (ETH), which is used to pay for transactions and computational services. Unlike Bitcoin, which mainly functions as digital money, Ethereum provides a flexible environment for building smart contracts—self-executing agreements with conditions written directly into code. This allows for transparent, secure, and tamper-resistant operations across various industries, from finance to gaming, by utilizing blockchain technology's decentralized and immutable nature.
