About Ethereum

Ethereum is a decentralized computing platform that uses ETH (also called Ether) to pay transaction fees (or “gas”). Developers can use Ethereum to run decentralized applications (dApps) and issue new crypto assets, known as Ethereum tokens.

Ethereum (ETH) is a decentralized, open-source blockchain that aims to become a global platform for decentralized applications and strives to enable users worldwide to write and run software resistant to censorship, downtime, and fraud. As the nonprofit Ethereum Foundation puts it, it "Is for more than payments. It's a marketplace of financial services, games, and apps that can't steal your data or censor you." Ethereum is the second-biggest cryptocurrency by market cap after Bitcoin as of 2023 and a decentralized computing platform that can run a wide variety of applications — including a universe of decentralized finance (or DeFi) apps and services. This platform is powered by its native cryptocurrency, Ether, which is used within the Ethereum network for various operations, making it an integral part of the system.

Alt weekly: ETH, DOGE, and other tokens surge following bitcoin rally

Alt weekly: ETH, DOGE, and other tokens surge following bitcoin rally

COINBASE BYTES • MAR 14, 2024

Altcoins like DOGE, OP, and MATIC have been rallying, and with bitcoin breaking new all-time highs, some crypto traders are turning to the next big question: Is it altcoin season? Here's what you need to know.
    Optimism around Ethereum ETFs may be boosting markets. The second-biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is up more than 60% in the past month. On Tuesday, prices crossed the $3,800 mark for the first time since January 2022 (but remain well below ETH’s $4,600 peak). What’s driving the rally? In part, it’s due to traders' optimism that spot ETH ETFs from firms including BlackRock will gain SEC approval and begin trading later this year.
    The Ethereum economy is on the move. Beyond ETH itself, tokens across the Ethereum ecosystem are rallying. The Ethereum scaling protocol Polygon saw its native token MATIC rise 35% in the past month, crossing the $1 mark for the first time since last April. OP, the native token of the layer-2 network Optimism, is up about 40% in the past month — with a 40% gain in monthly active users over that same period. Uniswap, the decentralized exchange that is Ethereum’s most popular app by far, has seen prices for its native token spike by 150% in the past month following a governance proposal that paved the way for holders to earn staking rewards.
Fork it over: Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade has arrived

Fork it over: Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade has arrived

COINBASE BYTES • MAR 18, 2024

The “Dencun” upgrade, which went live Wednesday, is the latest step in Ethereum’s years-long product roadmap, and is primarily focused on improving the network’s scalability, with the eventual goal of lower fees, faster transactions, and greater security. Here’s what you need to know.
    What is the Dencun upgrade? Dencun’s headline feature is an innovation called “proto-danksharding,” which aims to improve Ethereum’s scaling issues by helping layer-2 blockchains like Optimism, Polygon, and Arbitrum move and store data more quickly while reducing fees.
    How much cheaper could fees get? Developers estimate that the Dencun upgrade could reduce transaction costs on layer-2 networks by as much as 90%. But that doesn’t mean that fees on the main Ethereum blockchain will go down by similar amounts in the near-term. Full danksharding is still expected to be years away.
    What does Dencun mean for ETH’s future? Instead of operating as a general-purpose blockchain that developers can build applications on top of, Dencun solidifies a new paradigm where the main Ethereum blockchain functions primarily as a database and security layer for layer-2 networks, which will eventually handle the bulk of transactions.
