Ethereum was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, a Russian-Canadian programmer. Ethereum ka core idea decentralization hai, yani yeh kisi ek company ya government ke control mein nahi hota. Is wajah se network censorship-resistant aur highly reliable mana jata hai.
Ethereum users ko allow karta hai ke woh DApps (Decentralized Applications) build aur deploy karein. Yeh applications ek global network of computers par chalti hain, jisse downtime ka risk bohat kam ho jata hai. Isi feature ne Ethereum ko developers ke liye sab se popular blockchain bana diya.
Ethereum ek open-source blockchain hai jo apni native currency ETH (Ether) par run hota hai. Network par hone wali har transaction aur smart contract execution ke liye gas fees ETH mein pay ki jati hain. Is tarah ETH poore ecosystem ko power karta hai.
Ethereum ki sab se badi strength uske smart contracts hain. Yeh autonomous programs hote hain jo bina kisi third party ke automatically execute ho jate hain. Isi innovation ki wajah se DeFi, NFTs, aur hazaron blockchain projects Ethereum par build hue.
September 2022 mein Ethereum ne ek historic upgrade complete kiya, jise The Merge kaha jata hai. Is upgrade ke baad network Proof of Work (PoW) se Proof of Stake (PoS) par shift ho gaya. Ab validators 32 ETH stake karke transactions validate karte hain, jo mining ke muqable mein kaafi energy-efficient hai.
Is ke baad Shanghai Upgrade ne aur bhi improvements introduce ki. Is upgrade ka sab se important feature yeh tha ke validators apni staked .$ETH unstake kar sakte hain, jo pehle Beacon Chain par lock thi. Is step ne Ethereum staking ko aur zyada flexible aur user-friendly bana diya.
Aaj Ethereum sirf ek cryptocurrency nahi, balkay ek global decentralized computing platform ban chuka hai. Blockchain adoption ke future mein Ethereum ka role bohat strong nazar aata hai.$ETH
