Ethereum is an open-source, proof-of-stake blockchain that runs smart contracts: programs that execute exactly as written on thousands of independent computers, with no company able to stop or alter them. Its native asset, ether (ETH), pays for every transaction and computation and is staked by validators to secure the chain. Ethereum matters because it turned blockchains from payment ledgers into a general-purpose settlement layer, and it is now the base on which most decentralized finance (DeFi), stablecoins, NFTs, tokenized assets and layer 2 rollups are built.
A useful distinction: Ethereum is the network and its computing platform; ether is the asset used to pay for and secure it.
Vitalik Buterin described Ethereum in a whitepaper released on November 27, 2013. The founding group grew to include Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson, Anthony Di Iorio, Mihai Alisie, Amir Chetrit, Joseph Lubin and Jeffrey Wilcke. Gavin Wood's Yellow Paper (April 2014) gave the formal protocol definition, and a 42-day ether sale that began on July 22, 2014 funded development with bitcoin. The Ethereum Foundation, a Swiss non-profit, supports research and development, but it does not control the network; changes are proposed as Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) and adopted only if client teams, node operators and validators run them.
Major network upgrades, from the official upgrade history:
The next named upgrade, Glamsterdam (Amsterdam-Gloas), is listed on the official upgrade page without a mainnet date.
Every node runs two pieces of software: an execution client, which processes transactions in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), and a consensus client, which runs proof-of-stake. Time is divided into 12-second slots grouped into 32-slot epochs. In each slot one validator is pseudo-randomly chosen (via RANDAO) to propose a block, and a committee of validators attests to it. The fork-choice rule (LMD-GHOST) follows the chain with the most attestation weight, and Casper FFG finalizes checkpoints once two-thirds of staked ETH has voted for them.
Every operation costs gas, paid in ETH. Since London, each block has a base fee that is burned and a tip that goes to the block proposer. Balances are counted in wei (10^18 wei per ether) and gas prices usually in gwei (10^-9 ETH). Smart contracts are mostly written in Solidity and compiled to EVM bytecode.
ETH is required to pay gas for every transfer and contract call, including the base fee that is burned. It is the staking asset: a validator deposits 32 ETH, earns rewards for honest proposals and attestations, and can be slashed for provable misbehavior. It is also the most widely used collateral in DeFi, the unit of account for many NFT markets, and a treasury asset for DAOs and some companies.
ETH has no fixed supply cap. According to ethereum.org, The Merge cut new issuance by about 88%, and because base fees are burned, net supply can fall during periods of heavy network use.
Bitcoin focuses on a fixed-supply monetary asset with limited scripting and proof-of-work; Ethereum focuses on programmability with proof-of-stake and a flexible supply. High-throughput layer 1s such as Solana aim to scale on a single chain with higher hardware requirements, while Ethereum keeps node requirements lower and moves most activity to rollups. Cardano also uses proof-of-stake but a different smart contract model and its own research-led governance.
Security rests on staked ETH. Validators who sign conflicting blocks or attestations are slashed, with larger penalties when many are slashed together, and reverting a finalized block would cost an attacker at least one-third of all staked ETH. Independent execution and consensus clients check each other, and a long record of public audits, bug bounties and formal specifications supports the protocol layer. Smart contracts built on top carry their own risks.
Ethereum is the main settlement layer for programmable money. Most stablecoin supply, DeFi activity and rollup traffic depends on it, so its upgrades shape the economics of the wider crypto market.
ETH is listed on nearly every centralized exchange and broker, trades on decentralized exchanges across Ethereum and its layer 2 networks, and is available through regulated exchange-traded products in several jurisdictions.
Almost all large centralized exchanges offer ETH spot trading against fiat currencies, BTC and stablecoins. Before depositing or withdrawing, confirm which network (Ethereum mainnet or a specific layer 2) the platform supports.
