1 interview on Crypto Coin Show
Ethereum is an open source, proof of stake blockchain with smart contract functionality, and ether (ETH) is its native asset.
It was conceived by Vitalik Buterin in 2013, announced in January 2014, funded through a crowd sale in mid 2014 and launched on July 30, 2015. It hosts most decentralized finance, stablecoin and tokenization activity, along with a large ecosystem of layer 2 networks that settle to it. The Merge in September 2022 replaced proof of work with proof of stake, cutting energy use by more than 99 percent, and later upgrades (Dencun in 2024, Pectra and Fusaka in 2025) expanded data capacity for layer 2 networks.
The Ethereum Foundation, a Swiss non-profit, funds research and protocol development but does not control the network. The foundation went through leadership changes in 2026, with both co-executive directors appointed in 2025 stepping down.
