About Ethereum

What Is Ethereum?

Ethereum (ETH) is the world’s premier smart-contract platform enabling dApps, DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. It launched in 2015 and transitioned to Proof-of-Stake in 2022.

Who Are the Founders of Ethereum?

Ethereum was co-founded by Vitalik Buterin, along with Gavin Wood, Joseph Lubin, Anthony Di Iorio, Charles Hoskinson, and Mihai Alisie in 2015.

What Makes Ethereum Unique?

Ethereum’s Turing-complete EVM, strong developer community, and robust DeFi/NFT ecosystems make it unique.

How Is the Ethereum Network Secured?

What Is Ethereum’s Role in the Crypto Ecosystem?

Ethereum serves as both gas for transaction fees and the core collateral asset for DeFi protocols, NFTs, and token launches. Its role as a settlement token underpins everything from lending platforms to decentralized exchanges, making it the backbone of modern crypto finance.

Prominent corporate holders include Consensys, institutional staking pools like Lido and Coinbase, and enterprise consortia using Ethereum for pilot projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ethereum Legal?

Yes. Ethereum is legally recognized in most jurisdictions as a blockchain platform, though regulatory scrutiny around tokenized assets and DeFi continues.

Can Ethereum Be Hacked?

The core protocol is robust, but smart-contract vulnerabilities and oracle exploits are the primary attack vectors, so users should rely on audited contracts.

Can I Use Ethereum for Everyday Purchases?
