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.
Type
Platform for Decentralized Applications and Currency (Ether)
Symbol

Currency Supply Limit
There is no supply limit for Ethers, but their emission is adjusted to an inflation rate determined by the difficulty of block processing
