Ethereum: The World Computer
Discover how Ethereum is revolutionizing the internet with smart contracts and decentralized applications.
Ethereum is more than just a cryptocurrency - it's a platform for building decentralized applications (dApps) and executing smart contracts. Created by Vitalik Buterin in 2015, Ethereum has become the foundation for much of the innovation in the crypto space.
## What Makes Ethereum Special?
### Smart Contracts
Smart contracts are self-executing contracts where the terms are written directly into code. They:
- Run automatically when conditions are met
- Cannot be altered once deployed
- Eliminate the need for intermediaries
- Enable trustless transactions
