Geth (Go Ethereum)

Geth, or Go Ethereum, is an open-source software that allows computers to connect to the Ethereum blockchain network. It enables users to run a full node, which maintains a copy of the blockchain, verify transactions, and participate in network activities like mining and deploying smart contracts. Essentially, Geth acts as a bridge, letting individuals and organizations interact directly with Ethereum without relying on third parties. It is written in the Go programming language and is a fundamental tool for developing, testing, and maintaining applications on the Ethereum platform.
