About Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH) is a programmable blockchain platform, launched in July 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and co-founders, that introduced general-purpose smart contracts to crypto. Where Bitcoin focuses on storing and transferring value, Ethereum lets developers deploy autonomous programs — DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, stablecoins, on-chain identity — that execute on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

Since The Merge (September 2022), Ethereum has used Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus. Validators lock 32 ETH each and are randomly selected to propose blocks every 12 seconds, earning rewards for honest behaviour and being slashed for misbehaviour. As of 2026, approximately 35 million ETH is staked — roughly 30% of total supply.

EIP-1559, activated in August 2021, restructured Ethereum's fee market: every transaction pays a base fee that is permanently burned, plus an optional priority tip to validators. When network activity exceeds new issuance from staking rewards, ETH supply contracts net-deflationary. The live burn rate appears in the on-chain metrics section above.

Ethereum hosts the largest DeFi ecosystem on any chain — Uniswap, Aave, Maker, Curve, Lido — along with stablecoins like USDC and USDT, NFT marketplaces, and Layer 2 scaling networks (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync). L2s inherit security from Ethereum mainnet while offering 10-100x lower fees and higher throughput.

Gas fees, denominated in gwei (10⁻⁹ ETH), pay validators for computation. Fees fluctuate with demand: simple transfers cost a few cents, complex DeFi interactions can range from $1-50 during peak congestion. ETH is the unit of account across the ecosystem and the predominant collateral asset in DeFi.

Frequently asked questions about Ethereum

What is Ethereum (ETH)?

Ethereum (ETH) is a cryptocurrency listed on global exchanges and tracked across major data providers. It currently ranks #2 among all cryptocurrencies by total market value. It belongs to the Smart Contract Platform and Layer 1 (L1) category. Live price, market cap, trading volume, and historical performance are displayed on this page and refreshed continuously.

How does Ethereum work?

Ethereum operates as a programmable blockchain with smart contract execution via the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Since The Merge (September 2022), it uses Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus: validators lock 32 ETH to participate, are randomly selected to propose blocks every 12 seconds, and earn rewards for honest behaviour. EIP-1559 (2021) introduced a base-fee burn mechanism — a portion of every transaction fee is permanently removed from supply, sometimes resulting in net deflation when network activity is high. Gas fees, denominated in gwei (10⁻⁹ ETH), pay validators for computational work.

How much Ethereum is in circulation?

Ethereum has no hard supply cap. There are currently 120,685,747 ETH in circulation, and the supply continues to grow at a rate determined by the protocol's issuance schedule.

How can I buy Ethereum?

Ethereum (ETH) is traded on most major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, and Bitstamp. Availability depends on your jurisdiction and the exchange's listings. After purchase, many users transfer their ETH to a self-custody wallet for long-term storage. This information is educational and does not constitute investment advice.

Is Ethereum a good investment?

Cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, are highly volatile and carry significant risk of loss. Whether Ethereum is appropriate for a given portfolio depends on the investor's individual risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial situation. Always research the project's fundamentals, understand the risks, and only allocate capital you can afford to lose. This page provides market data only, not personalised investment advice. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.

How is Ethereum different from Bitcoin?

Bitcoin (BTC) was the first cryptocurrency, designed primarily as a digital store of value and peer-to-peer payment network with a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Ethereum (ETH) focuses on smart contract platform use cases, with a different technical design, supply schedule, and ecosystem. Bitcoin derives its value primarily from scarcity, security, and brand recognition, while Ethereum's value is tied to adoption within its specific use case and underlying network effects.
