View ChartEthereum is a decentralized, open source, and distributed computing platform that enables the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications, also known as dapps.
Smart contracts are computer protocols that facilitate, verify, or enforce the negotiation and performance of some sort of agreement. For instance, a smart contract could be used to represent a legal contract emulating the logic of contractual clauses or a financial contract specifying responsibilities of the counterparts and automated flows of value.
The “ether” or “ETH” cryptocurrency is the backbone of the Ethereum network.
The decentralized network’s smart contracts and transactions are powered by ETH. For the time being, Ether’s market cap ranks above all but one cryptocurrency on the planet.
Many people use Ether, like Bitcoin, as a store of value; it is traded on cryptocurrency exchanges.
In order to validate transactions and finish actions on the Ethereum blockchain, users must pay network costs, also called gas fees. As a token, Ethereum uses ETH to represent these costs.
The quantity of Ether that is staked determines how much Ether is issued. Because Ethereum gets burned with every transaction, the supply is elastic. Bitcoin being burned at a faster rate as its use grows.
It was through EIP-1559 that this ETH elastic supply was introduced. When Ethereum first launched, there were 72 million coins available for purchase. Twelve million were set aside for the Ethereum Foundation’s use, while eighty million were sold to the general public. Approximately 120.5 million Ethereum tokens are in circulation as of April 2023, and there is no cap on the total amount.
You might have heard that the Bitcoin blockchain is a lot like a bank’s ledger, or even a checkbook. It’s a running tally of every transaction made on the network going back to the very beginning — and the entire network works together to ensure that the tally is accurate and secure.
The Ethereum blockchain, on the other hand, is more like a computer: While it also does the work of documenting and securing transactions, it’s much more flexible than the Bitcoin blockchain. Developers can use the Ethereum blockchain to build a huge variety of tools — everything from logistics management software to games to the entire universe of DeFi applications (which span lending, borrowing, trading, and more).
Ethereum uses a ‘virtual machine’ to achieve all this, which is like a giant, global computer made up of many individual computers running the Ethereum software. Keeping all of those computers running involves investment in both hardware and electricity by participants. To cover those costs, the network uses its own Bitcoin-like cryptocurrency called Ether (or, more commonly, ETH).
ETH keeps the whole thing running. You interact with the Ethereum network by using ETH to pay the network to execute smart contracts. As a result, the fees paid in ETH are called “gas.”
Gas rates vary depending on how busy the network is. A new version of the Ethereum blockchain called Ethereum 2.0, which aims to increase efficiency, was implemented in September 2022.
Ethereum 2.0, often referred to as ETH2, is a significant upgrade to the Ethereum network. Designed to enable the network to grow while enhancing security, speed and efficiency, it was implemented in September 2022 by merging the original blockchain with the ETH2 blockchain.
Why is Ethereum 2.0 necessary? Migrating a popular cryptocurrency to a new platform is a complex endeavour, but it was necessary for Ethereum to scale and evolve. This is because the ‘proof of work’ method used by the ETH 1.0 blockchain to verify transactions caused bottlenecks and increased fees, as well as consuming substantial resources (particularly electricity).
