Ethereum: Revolutionizing the World with Smart Contracts Ethereum, created in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin, is a decentralized, open-source blockchain that has expanded the possibilities of blockchain technology far beyond what Bitcoin envisioned. While Bitcoin was designed as a digital currency, Ethereum was developed to serve as a platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts , which are programmable self-executing contracts that run automatically when conditions are met. This flexibility has made Ethereum the foundation for a wide range of innovative applications across finance, gaming, supply chain, and beyond. How Ethereum Works Ethereum operates similarly to Bitcoin in that it uses a decentralized blockchain to record transactions, but its functionality goes beyond simple transfers of value. Ethereum’s real breakthrough is its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) , which enables developers to write and deploy smart contracts in a programming language called Solid...
