A few words about Ethereum.
Ethereum, as the second biggest cryptocurrency on the market, introduced a new concept to the world - smart contracts. The network was launched in 2013 by Vitalik Buterin. Ethereum has recently gone through “the Merge”, after which the blockchain began to utilise the Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm. The platform’s native token, ETH, can be used to create and carry out smart contracts.
