About Ethereum
Ethereum (ETH) is the largest smart-contract platform in crypto, proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and launched in 2015. Where Bitcoin focuses on being sound money, Ethereum is a programmable blockchain: developers deploy self-executing “smart contracts” that power decentralised applications, tokens, stablecoins, NFTs and most of decentralised finance (DeFi).
The network’s native asset, ether, is used to pay transaction fees (“gas”) and to secure the chain. In 2022 Ethereum completed “The Merge,” switching from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, which cut its energy use dramatically and allowed holders to stake ETH to help validate the network in return for rewards. A portion of fees is burned, which can make ether’s net supply contract during periods of heavy usage.
Ethereum is the settlement layer for a large share of on-chain activity, and a growing ecosystem of layer-2 networks now processes transactions more cheaply while settling back to Ethereum for security. Like all crypto assets, ether is volatile and carries meaningful technical and market risk.
The story
Ethereum is a programmable, proof-of-stake blockchain. Ether pays for computation (gas) and secures the network through staking; a share of fees is burned. It hosts most of DeFi, stablecoins and NFTs, and a layer-2 ecosystem scales it while inheriting its security.
The context
Ethereum’s value case is utility, not scarcity: it is infrastructure other things are built on. That makes ETH a bet on continued on-chain demand — but it also faces real competition from rival layer-1s, and much activity is migrating to layer-2s, which changes how fees and value accrue to the base layer. Staking adds yield and network security, but also lock-ups and technical risk. It is volatile and high-risk.
Staking inflows and the validator queue, how much activity layer-2s pull off the base chain, ETF flows, and the pace of protocol upgrades. Net issuance swings between inflationary and deflationary with network demand.

Ethereum FAQ
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a decentralised, programmable blockchain that runs smart contracts. Its native asset, ether (ETH), pays transaction fees and secures the network through staking.
What is the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum?
Bitcoin is primarily designed as sound, fixed-supply money. Ethereum is a general-purpose platform for smart contracts and applications, so ether’s value is tied to network usage rather than a fixed supply cap.
What was “The Merge”?
In 2022 Ethereum switched from energy-intensive proof-of-work mining to proof-of-stake, cutting its energy consumption dramatically and enabling staking.
What is gas on Ethereum?
Gas is the fee paid in ether to execute transactions and smart contracts. Fees rise when the network is busy and fall when demand is low.
Does Ethereum have a maximum supply?
No. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum has no fixed cap. Issuance rewards stakers, while a portion of fees is burned, so net supply can rise or fall depending on activity.
Where does Bitcoin Digital’s Ethereum price come from?
The live price, 24-hour change and volume come from Binance market data. Market cap is the live price multiplied by a curated circulating-supply figure.
