Description


Ethereum is a blockchain that works as a platform for creating decentralized applications.

The idea behind the Ethereum blockchain is to take a step beyond the Bitcoin, and act as a platform for building smart contracts and applications.

The emergence of Ethereum has facilitated the growth of the Initial Currency Offerings (ICOs), which is a fund-raising model to finance blockchain-based projects through the protocol named ECR-20.

Transactions that occur in the Ethereum blockchain use Ether, as its cryptocoin is called.
