Frequently asked questions
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications. It was proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and launched in 2015.
How does Ethereum's consensus mechanism work?
Ethereum originally used proof-of-work (PoW) but transitioned to proof-of-stake (PoS) in September 2022, known as The Merge. In PoS, validators stake ETH to propose and attest to blocks, ensuring security and energy efficiency.
What are smart contracts?
Smart contracts are self-executing programs stored on the Ethereum blockchain. They automatically execute predefined terms when conditions are met, enabling trustless and transparent automation of agreements.
What is Ethereum connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Ethereum is linked to 1308 other tracked entities, most strongly to Base, USD Coin, Ether (ETH).
