The Ethereum news category on our site tracks the ongoing developments of Ethereum, a revolutionary blockchain platform launched in 2015, designed to extend the possibilities of blockchain and cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin’s original scope. Embraced for its ability to support a wide array of decentralized applications, Ethereum is often referred to as a «global computer.» This platform enables developers to create and deploy smart contracts — self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into lines of code.

Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), serves a dual purpose. Like Bitcoin, it incentivizes the maintenance and security of the network. Additionally, ETH is used as «gas» to process transactions and run smart contracts, acting as a safeguard against inefficient code and hostile threats.

The category focuses on the latest developments in Ethereum as it strives to become the foundational infrastructure for a more open and decentralized Internet. We explore its potential to maintain its leading position in the smart contract arena, despite the competition from other blockchain platforms, and ponder its future in reshaping the internet and its applications.
