Understanding Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) is the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, powering smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and a team of developers, Ethereum pioneered programmable blockchains, enabling developers to build applications with self-executing code. It also supports interoperability with Layer 2 scaling solutions and cross-chain bridges, enhancing liquidity and usability across the crypto ecosystem.
