About Ethereum

How the network works, what it is used for and its main tokens.

Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that runs smart contracts and decentralized applications. It is a Layer 1 network that went live in July 2015, and it lets anyone deploy applications that anyone else can use. ETH is its native coin.

Applications on Ethereum execute on the Ethereum Virtual Machine, which runs smart contracts. The network uses proof of stake, where validators stake ETH to propose and validate blocks. Ether pays for transactions, and staking it helps secure the network.
