Ethereum Beginner

Ethereum is the leading platform for programmable blockchains, with ether (ETH) as its native asset.

Where Bitcoin is designed as money, Ethereum lets developers run "smart contracts" — code that powers apps, tokens, stablecoins, NFTs and most of decentralised finance. It secures itself through proof-of-stake.

This definition is educational and not financial advice. Crypto is volatile and high-risk — always do your own research.
