More Details of Ethereum

Ethereum, a decentralized open-source blockchain, features its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH). Serving as a platform for numerous other cryptocurrencies, it also facilitates the execution of decentralized smart contracts. Initially described in a 2013 whitepaper by Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum secured funding through an online public crowd sale in summer 2014, raising $18.3 million in Bitcoin. The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) price for Ethereum was $0.311, with over 60 million Ether sold. Considering Ethereum’s current price, the investment has yielded an annualized return on investment (ROI) of over 270%, effectively quadrupling the initial investment annually since 2014. The Ethereum Foundation officially launched the blockchain on July 30, 2015, under the prototype codenamed “Frontier.” Since its inception, Ethereum has undergone several significant network updates: “Constantinople” on February 28, 2019, “Istanbul” on December 8, 2019, “Muir Glacier” on January 2, 2020, “Berlin” on April 14, 2021, and the “London” hard fork on August 5, 2021. Ethereum aims to become a global platform for decentralized applications (dApps), enabling users worldwide to write and run software that is resistant to censorship, downtime, and fraud.

What was the Ethereum Merge?



The "Merge" referred to Ethereum's transition from a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to a proof-of-stake (PoS) validation system. Ethereum's core developers had been pushing for this transition for many years, hoping that a PoS model would make the network easier to scale without sacrificing decentralization. Developers also stated that PoS could reduce Ethereum's environmental impact. In 2022, Ethereum renamed its transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, previously known as "Ethereum 2.0", to "The Merge". The Merge went live on September 15, 2022, after the successful merging of the Goerli testnet on August 11, 2022. The Merge process involved fusing the original PoW Ethereum mainchain with the new PoS Beacon Chain. During the Merge, all the transaction data and decentralized applications (dApps) on the PoW Ethereum migrated to the new PoS chain.

What makes ETH unique?



Unlike a typical cryptocurrency, Ethereum is a decentralized platform that enables the development of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. This means Ethereum is not controlled by any company, institution, or other centralized authority. The combination of Ethereum's cryptocurrency functionality and its digital platform capabilities gives it the potential to significantly transform how we conduct business and exchange value over the internet.
