Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that enables the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). It was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, and its native cryptocurrency is Ether (ETH). Ethereum has seen significant growth in recent years, thanks to its popularity among developers who use it to create decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and other innovative applications. Ethereum is currently undergoing a major upgrade, known as Ethereum 2.0, which aims to improve its scalability, security, and sustainability. https://opensea.io/assets/0x2cCE500d558BceA8f0238F1B070FeF31b870b805/2
