50: What is Ethereum?
Manage episode 294465493 series 2936982
Ethereum has been the #2 cryptocurrency and we dedicated this episode to answer - what is Ethereum. Ideated in 2014, and having an official start in 2015, Ethereum got the most attention in the crypto boom of 2017 - mainly because of how easy it was to "Create" another cryptocurrency on top of Ethereum.
This main innovation - known as smart contracts - enabled many projects to live on the Ethereum Blockchain, and create their own token at the click of a button. Ethereum enabled DeFi and was the birthplace for NFTs.
