Ethereum News

When Ethereum launched in 2015, it was with the idea of creating a crypto coin, Ether (ETH), and at the same time, a global platform allowing developers to make distributed applications (dApps) on its blockchain. Thanks to being highly secure due to smart contracts and ETH being used to run transactions, as well as new features such as fully permissionless financial services and crowdfunding, Ethereum has taken the position of the undisputed number two coin in the crypto realm, preceded only by Bitcoin.

Recently, Ethereum has been in the news thanks to the Merge event, wherein the network transitioned to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, instead of the old proof-of-work one. Crypto staking is a much more environment-friendly alternative to mining, a topic we’ve examined recently in our news posts in detail. Still, there’s more to come from Ethereum, so we’re closely following its development to bring you all the latest Ethereum news you’ll need!
