Today’s class, brought to you by Thedapplist is focused on the Ethereum blockchain. Let’s learn what Ethereum is.

Ethereum is a blockchain platform with its own cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), and programming language, Solidity. As a blockchain network, Ethereum is a decentralized public ledger that is used for transaction verification and recording. Users of the network may create, publish, monetize, and use apps on the platform, as well as pay using the Ether cryptocurrency. Decentralized apps on the network are referred to as “dApps” by insiders

Ethereum 2.0 (ETH2)

Ethereum 2.0 (ETH2), commonly known as Eth2 or “Serenity,” is a blockchain update. The upgrade seeks to improve the Ethereum network’s speed, efficiency, and scalability, allowing it to handle more transactions and alleviate bottlenecks. Ethereum’s existing mining process will be replaced by a staking model as part of this update.

Ethereum 2.0 will provide a slew of new features that are sure to entice even more developers to join the network. The three major enhancements are as follows:

  • Increased scalability
  • Increased security
  • Increased sustainability

How does Ethereum work?

Ethereum, like all cryptocurrencies, is built on a blockchain network.
It is distributed in the sense that everyone on the Ethereum network has an identical copy of the ledger, allowing them to observe all previous transactions. It is monitored by all distributed ledger holders.
