Ethereum is a decentralized platform designed to run smart contracts and distributed applications. Launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, it introduced the concept of programmable blockchain through the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It currently operates under a Proof of Stake (PoS) system, which reduces energy consumption and increases security. Ethereum is the foundation of the DeFi, NFT, DAOs ecosystem and thousands of tokenized projects.
