What Ethereum is

Ethereum is a decentralized, programmable blockchain. Beyond moving value, it runs smart contracts, code that executes exactly as written, without an intermediary. It is the base layer most of web3 settles to.

Why it matters

Ethereum turned blockchains from payment ledgers into a global computer. DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, restaking, and rollups all grew here first.
