What is Ethereum:

Ethereum, established by Vitalik Buterin in late 2013 and launched in July 2015, functions as a decentralized platform facilitating the development and execution of smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps). At its core, Ethereum operates on a blockchain, and its native digital currency is known as Ether (ETH to INR).

How Ethereum Works: 

Blockchain Technology:

Ethereum (ETH to INR), like Bitcoin, operates on a blockchain—a distributed ledger that records all transactions across a network of computers.

Smart Contracts:

At the core of Ethereum are smart contracts, self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. Smart contracts can govern interactions such as posting, liking, or sharing content.

Decentralized Nodes:

Ethereum relies on a network of nodes (computers) that participate in the blockchain. Every node possesses a complete copy of the entire blockchain, guaranteeing both transparency and security.

Ether (ETH):

Ether is the native cryptocurrency of Ethereum. It is used to compensate participants who perform computations and validate transactions (miners) and can also be used to pay for transaction fees and computational services.




Decentralized Applications (DApps):

Ethereum (ETH to INR) could have decentralized applications (DApps) where users interact with each other and the platform through smart contracts. Users retain control of their data, and the censorship-resistant nature of blockchain ensures free expression.

Interoperability and Standards:

Ethereum supports interoperability, meaning DApps can interact with each other. Standards like ERC-20 (for tokens) and ERC-721 (for non-fungible tokens, or NFTs), facilitate this interoperability, allowing various applications to work seamlessly together.

Consensus Mechanism:

Ethereum is transitioning from proof-of-work (like Bitcoin) to proof-of-stake, a more energy-efficient consensus mechanism. This transition, known as Ethereum 2.0, aims to improve scalability and reduce environmental impact.

Decentralized Storage:

Decentralized storage solutions like IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) can be integrated. This ensures that content, such as posts and media, is distributed across the network rather than stored on a centralized server.
