0.00%Ethereum is a decentralised blockchain platform designed to host decentralized applications (dApps) and execute smart contracts. Ether (ETH) is the digital currency used on the Ethereum network which is used to pay for transaction fees and gas fees. Ethereum quickly became one of the most widely adopted blockchain platforms after its launch in 2015. ETH is currently the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world by market cap, trailing only Bitcoin (BTC).
Unlike Bitcoin which is used as a digital currency, Ethereum’s core purpose is to allow developers to build dApps that run on the network, as well as validate smart contracts that utilise blockchain technology to maintain transaction data.
Despite the growth of alternative blockchain platforms, the majority of dApps exist almost exclusively on the Ethereum blockchain.
An Ethereum block is created through a process called mining. however, there are other ways to acquire Ether, such as purchasing it on a cryptocurrency exchange.
You can buy Ethereum (ETH) and other digital currencies with low fees on the Swyftx crypto exchange.
Vitalik Buterin, a computer programmer and co-founder of Bitcoin Magazine, released the whitepaper for Ethereum in 2013. Vitalik’s whitepaper proposed a decentralised platform that gave developers to build decentralised using a built-in programming language. Developers would pay for computing fees using ETH.
Vitalik crowdfunded the development of the Ethereum protocol in 2014. Officially launching Ethereum in July 2015.

Decentralised applications (DApps) are open-source digital applications that are not controlled by a single authority. DApps are built and run on blockchain networks, such as Ethereum. The key difference between normal apps and DApps is that they are run on a decentralised peer-to-peer networks, such as a blockchain, rather than a centralised computer system. DApps include things like decentralised exchanges, NFT marketplaces and play-to-earn games.
DApps are built to have no downtime and remove the risk of censorship, fraud and third-party interference. Some popular DApps on Ethereum include:
Gas fees are a transactional fee paid as compensation to Ethereum miners for the computational power used when verifying transactions. Gas fees fluctuate based on the level of traffic on Ethereum’s blockchain. During times of high network traffic, gas fees increase.
