About Ethereum

Ethereum is a global, open-source blockchain network that enables decentralized money, programmable smart contracts, and a new generation of applications accessible worldwide. It serves as the foundation for digital assets, DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 applications, with a focus on permissionless participation and community-driven development. The ecosystem includes mainnet and Layer 2 networks, facilitating scalable, trust-minimized interactions across financial services, digital identity, and decentralized governance. Ethereum is maintained by a global community and is closely associated with the Ethereum Foundation and open collaboration across developers, researchers, and users.
