Ethereum is a decentralized platform based on blockchain technology, enabling the creation and operation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) without downtime, fraud, control, or third-party interference. It stands out for its ability to support its own cryptocurrency called Ether (ETH) and a wide range of financial, social, and gaming applications. Ethereum has brought innovation in the area of smart contracts, which are programs that automatically execute, verify, or enforce negotiated actions on the blockchain. This allows for the creation of more complex financial instruments, voting systems, and many other applications that leverage the transparency and security of the blockchain.
