What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is an open-source, blockchain-based platform enabling developers to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps). Unlike Bitcoin, which is primarily a cryptocurrency, Ethereum facilitates dApps through its unique feature: smart contracts. These self-executing contracts have terms written directly into code, eliminating intermediaries and reducing fraud risks. Ethereum's native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), powers smart contracts and pays transaction fees on the network.
The Ethereum network uses Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus, where validators are selected to create new blocks based on their staked crypto holdings. This scalable, energy-efficient alternative to Proof of Work (PoW) aims for faster transactions and higher throughput in Ethereum 2.0.
👉 Staking ETH is central to PoS, promoting network security and decentralization. Validators earn rewards for verifying transactions, ensuring a robust and trusted ecosystem.
Key Ethereum Features:
- Smart Contracts: Self-executing agreements on the blockchain.
- dApps: Decentralized applications running on Ethereum.
- ETH: The native currency for transactions and staking.
