Week 1: Ethereum Basics & Transaction Fundamentals
Ethereum is an open-source, decentralised blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and decentralised applications (dApps). It was proposed in late 2013 by Vitalik Buterin and went live in 2015.
Unlike traditional blockchains that primarily focus on peer-to-peer digital currency (like Bitcoin), Ethereum expands the possibilities of blockchain technology by offering a programmable platform.
Smart Contracts: Self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code.
Decentralised Applications (dApps): Applications that run on a decentralised network rather than centralised servers.
Ether (ETH): The native cryptocurrency used to pay for transaction fees and computational services on Ethereum.
Aspect | Bitcoin | Ethereum |
|---|---|---|
Primary Purpose | Digital currency — peer-to-peer payments | Programmable blockchain platform |
Blockchain Type | Ledger of transactions (money transfer) | Ledger + smart contracts & dApps |
Currency | Bitcoin (BTC) | Ether (ETH) |
Transaction Speed | ~7 transactions per second | ~15 transactions per second |
Scripting Language | Limited scripting (non-Turing complete) | Turing-complete language (Solidity, Vyper) |
Consensus Mechanism | Proof of Work (PoW), moving to Proof of Stake (PoS) | Currently PoW, transitioning to PoS (Ethereum 2.0) |
Use Cases | Digital money | Smart contracts, NFTs, DeFi, DAOs, games |
Ethereum unlocks blockchain beyond just money transfer. It creates a world computer where code runs exactly as programmed without downtime, censorship, fraud, or interference from third parties.
This innovation enables:
Decentralised finance (DeFi): Banking and financial services without intermediaries.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs): Unique digital assets representing art, collectables, etc.
Decentralised governance: Organisations run through transparent code rather than traditional hierarchies.
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain platform designed to run smart contracts and decentralised applications, differing from Bitcoin’s focus on digital currency. It fuels a vast ecosystem of decentralised finance, digital assets, and innovative applications.
CTA (Call to Action):
Discover how Ethereum is reshaping the future of blockchain beyond just digital money! Start your journey to mastering Ethereum transactions today.
