Ethereum (ETH) is a smart contract platform that enables developers to build decentralized applications (dapps) conceptualized by Vitalik Buterin in 2013. ETH is the native currency for the Ethereum platform and also works as the transaction fees to miners on the Ethereum network. Ethereum is the pioneer for blockchain based smart contracts. When running on the blockchain a smart contract becomes like a self-operating computer program that automatically executes when specific conditions are met. On the blockchain, smart contracts allow for code to be run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference. It can facilitate the exchange of money, content, property, shares, or anything of value. The Ethereum network went live on July 30th, 2015 with 72 million Ethereum premined.

Price prediction
Moving Averages Explained: Moving averages are lines that represent the average price over a specific period, used to smooth price fluctuations and identify trend direction. When the price is above the moving average, it generally indicates an uptrend, while below indicates a downtrend. A short-term moving average crossing above a long-term moving average forms a Golden Cross (bullish), while crossing below forms a Death Cross (bearish). A bullish alignment (short-term > medium-term > long-term) indicates a strong uptrend, while a bearish alignment indicates the opposite.

Ethereum (ETH) FAQ
Ethereum refers to the underlying blockchain network, often described as a global computer for smart contracts and decentralized applications. Ether (ETH) is the native cryptocurrency of that network. It serves two primary purposes: acting as gas to pay for transaction fees and serving as the collateral used by validators to secure the network through Proof of Stake.
Following the Dencun upgrade, Ethereum introduced EIP-4844, which created Blobs. These are dedicated, temporary storage spaces that allow Layer 2 (L2) scaling solutions to post their transaction data to the mainnet at a much lower cost. While the Mainnet remains the high-security settlement layer for high-value transactions, L2 networks utilize these cheap lanes to offer users transaction fees that are often a fraction of a cent.
Yes. While the technical requirement to run a solo validator is 32 ETH, most users participate through liquid staking or exchange-integrated staking services. These options allow users to stake very small amounts of ETH. In return, participants typically receive a liquid token representing their staked ETH, allowing them to maintain liquidity while earning rewards. This significantly lowers the barrier to entry for securing the network.
The Pectra upgrade, featuring EIP-7251, focuses on improving the efficiency of the staking layer. A key change is the increase of the maximum effective balance for validators from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH. This allows large-scale stakers to consolidate their holdings into fewer validators, simplifying reward management and reducing the communication overhead on the network without raising the 32 ETH minimum required to start staking.
Account Abstraction is a technical evolution designed to make crypto wallets more intuitive. Instead of managing complex seed phrases, which are prone to loss, EIP-7702 enables features like Passkeys. This allows users to access their funds using biometric security like FaceID or social logins, similar to modern banking apps. This shift aims to make the Ethereum ecosystem more accessible to non-technical users.
