About Ethereum
Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain that allows developers to build and run dApps. Conceived by Vitalik Buterin in 2013, Ethereum is one of the most popular blockchains. Many services, games and apps are built on Ethereum, and even “Layer 2” blockchains that can help increase the speed and reduce fees for Ethereum-based transactions. Ethereum has paved the way for the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) system, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). Its native cryptocurrency, ether (or “ETH”), is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, after Bitcoin.
