Introduction :
Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that runs smart contracts. It is not just a coin, but an entire ecosystem – where apps, projects and defi systems can be built.
🔹 Launch year: 2015
🔹 Inventor: Vitalik Buterin
How does Ethereum work?
🔹Ethereum is an open-source blockchain system where:
Developers can build DApps
Automated contracts can be executed through smart contracts
New technologies like DeFi, NFT, DAO have been created based on this ecosystem
What is a smart contract? :
🔹A smart contract is a contract that is automatically executed when certain conditions are met. For example:
"If you send money, you will automatically be given digital property." Smart contracts are what made Ethereum so popular.
Ethereum vs Bitcoin :
Topic Ethereum Bitcoin

Coin supply Unlimited 21 million
Ethereum 2.0 update (the merge) :
ethereum recently moved from proof of work to proof of stake, which is called the ethereum merge. As a result:
