What is Ethereum?
Ether (ETH) is the native currency of Ethereum, a blockchain launched in 2015 that runs smart contracts and decentralized applications. ETH pays transaction fees (gas) and is staked by validators to secure the network, which moved from mining to proof of stake in 2022. Many tokens, stablecoins and DeFi apps are built on Ethereum, and part of every fee is burned.
