Ethereum is a decentralized open source platform that runs on its own blockchain and allows each developer to program new types of applications. Many define Ethereum as a digital supercomputer where any user can run applications developed by programmers from anywhere in the world.
The cryptoasset, created by the young Russian raised in Canada Vitalik Buterin in 2015 under blockchain technology, stood out from the beginning for being the first to include programmable smart contracts in its blocks.
In 2018 Ethereum was a provisional project. Today it is the second cryptoasset with the highest market capitalization and one of the most used blockchains for DeFi (Decentralized Finance) and NFT (unique and unrepeatable digital assets, increasingly used for digital works of art).
Ethereum created the ERC-20 network, a blockchain with smart contracts embedded under the Singularity programming language where new projects that need to use its extensive computing power and interoperability are assembled.
