What is Ethereum?

Ethereum was introduced in 2015 by the Russian-Canadian programmer Vitaly ‘Vitalik’ Buterin. It is an open-source platform that utilises blockchain technology to create and execute distributed applications (DApps). Users can create or join so-called ‘smart contracts’ directly without third parties, limiting the possibility for fraud.

Ethereum is commonly used as a name of the associated cryptocurrency but, in fact, Ethereum is the system or network, while Ether (or ETH) is the native currency. Users need to have Ether when they want to execute a certain transaction through the system.
 

Some interesting facts about ETH:

1. - The Ethereum project was successfully crowdfunded in the middle of 2014 when it raised more than $18m.
2. - By the end of 2015, Ethereum’s price was slightly below $1. By mid-May 2021, it reached an all-time high of $4,362.

General factors related to the crypto world:

• - The number of crypto channels where ETH is available for trading.
• - The number and strength of ETH competitors.
