What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a blockchain platform designed to implement smart contracts and blockchain-based tokens. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum has a digital currency (ETH), but its possibilities are more than just a digital currency limited to the transfer of currencies.
The main concept of Ethereum is to provide an infrastructure for executing smart contracts. Smart contracts are, in fact, powerful programming codes that run on the blockchain platform and enable transactions without the need for another intermediary.
Ethereum was created in early 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and a group of developers. Since then, Ethereum has become one of the most popular blockchain platforms for developing intelligent programming applications.
