Ethereum is a decentralised blockchain platform enabling the use of smart contracts and decentralised applications (dApps). It establishes a peer-to-peer network that securely executes and verifies application code, called smart contracts, allowing participants to transact with each other without a trusted central authority.
Ethereum operates through a global network of computers called nodes, forming a supercomputer known as the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The EVM executes smart contracts and records all transactions on a decentralised ledger. Users pay gas fees to execute transactions and smart contracts, incentivising network participants to maintain and secure the blockchain.
Ethereum can be used in various industries through applications such as decentralised finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), supply chain management, gaming, healthcare data management, energy tracking, real estate transactions, identity systems, and cross-border payments.
Ethereum was conceived by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and officially launched on July 30, 2015. Major milestones include the transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) with "The Merge" in 2022, numerous protocol updates, and its growing adoption across industries. It has established itself as a cornerstone in the blockchain ecosystem, driving innovations in DeFi, NFTs, and more.
