Ether (ETH) is the second-largest cryptocurrency and a native coin of the Ethereum decentralized open-source blockchain system. In addition to facilitating the execution of decentralized smart contracts, Ethereum functions as a platform for a wide variety of other coins.

Vitalik Buterin penned and published the document introducing Ethereum in 2013. Ethereum's stated goal is to become a worldwide framework for decentralized apps, permitting users globally to develop and deploy censorship-, downtime-, and fraud-proof software.

Buterin and other co-founders held an online public crowdsale in 2014 to raise money for the venture. Over 60 million ETH were sold at an ICO price of $ 0.311, helping the project team earn $ 18.3 million in bitcoin.

On July 30, 2015, the Ethereum Foundation released the first version of the blockchain, which was known as "Frontier." Since then, the network has undergone a number of upgrades, including the "Constantinople" hard fork on February 28, 2019, the "Istanbul" hard fork on December 8, 2019, the "Muir Glacier" hard fork on January 2, 2020, the "Berlin" hard fork on April 14, 2021, and the "London" hard fork on August 5, 2021.
