What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain launched in July 2015. Rather than only recording transfers, it runs smart contracts — code that executes exactly as written — which makes it the base layer for most decentralised finance, NFTs and layer-2 networks.

Ethereum key facts
- Moved from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake in September 2022, cutting network energy use by more than 99%.
- No fixed supply cap; issuance is offset by a fee-burning mechanism introduced in EIP-1559.
- Validators stake 32 ETH to help secure the network and earn rewards.
- Most layer-2 rollups — Arbitrum, Optimism, Base — settle their transactions back to Ethereum.
How Ethereum works
Validators lock ETH as collateral and are selected to propose and attest to blocks. Every transaction pays gas, priced in ETH; a base portion of that fee is burned rather than paid out. Smart contracts run in the Ethereum Virtual Machine, so any node can independently verify that a contract executed correctly.
What ETH is used for
- Settlement layer for decentralised exchanges, lending and stablecoins
- Issuance of tokens, NFTs and tokenised real-world assets
- The security layer that layer-2 networks post their proofs to

Ethereum FAQ
What is Ethereum used for?
It is the base layer for programmable finance. Lending protocols, decentralised exchanges, most major stablecoins and the majority of layer-2 networks run on or settle to Ethereum, which is why demand for ETH is closely tied to activity across that ecosystem.
How is Ethereum different from Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is designed to move and store value; Ethereum is designed to run programs. Bitcoin uses proof-of-work with a fixed 21 million supply, while Ethereum uses proof-of-stake with no hard cap but an ongoing fee burn that can make supply deflationary during periods of heavy use.
What are Ethereum layer-2 networks?
Layer-2s process transactions off the main chain and post compressed proofs back to it. Users get much lower fees while still inheriting Ethereum's security. Arbitrum, Optimism and Base are the largest by activity.
