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.
Ethereum was co-founded by Vitalik Buterin, along with Gavin Wood, Joseph Lubin, Anthony Di Iorio, Charles Hoskinson, and Mihai Alisie in 2015.
Ethereum’s Turing-complete EVM, strong developer community, and robust DeFi/NFT ecosystems make it unique.
After “The Merge,” Ethereum runs on Proof-of-Stake, where ETH stakers lock funds in the Beacon Chain to validate blocks. This PoS security model is backed by hundreds of thousands of validators worldwide.
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.
Via Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) and network-wide hard forks.
Prominent corporate holders include Consensys, institutional staking pools like Lido and Coinbase, and enterprise consortia using Ethereum for pilot projects.
