What is Ethereum (ETH)?
The programmable blockchain powering DeFi, NFTs, and Web3.
Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap and the world's leading smart contract platform. Founded in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and co-founders, Ethereum allows developers to build decentralised applications (dApps), DeFi protocols, NFTs, DAOs, and Layer-2 scaling solutions on its programmable blockchain.
In September 2022, Ethereum completed "The Merge" — transitioning from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake, reducing its energy consumption by over 99%. Ethereum's native token ETH is used to pay gas fees for every transaction on the network. India has a large developer and investor community around Ethereum, with ETH being one of the top-traded assets on Indian exchanges.
