About Ethereum
Ethereum launched in 2015. Beyond payments, it runs “smart contracts”: programs that execute automatically on the blockchain, which developers use to build apps, tokens and more.
Ether (ETH) is the currency of the network and pays the fees for using it. Since 2022, Ethereum has been secured by proof of stake rather than mining.
