Ethereum is a famous blockchain platform that is used for developing decentralised applications.

Designed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013, it is the pioneering network for blockchain-based smart contracts.

Often referred to as the “crypto-fuel” used to power Ethereum, Ether (ETH) is the platform’s native currency. It is by far one of the most prominent coins in the crypto industry and has the second-largest market cap after BTC. Even after a few years in existence, ETH remains rather volatile, offering great potential for speculation. Besides, its price is more attractive when compared to that of BTC, as ETH is several times cheaper than its peer.
