What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is an open source blockchain platform that allows for automated and securely verified transactions on the internet. This is called a smart contract
History of formation and development of Ethereum (ETH)
2013: Vitalik Buterin proposed an improved solution for the Mastercoin project, but it was not applied. He researched and perfected the whitepaper outlining Ethereum.
2014: Vitalik's partner Gavin Wood publishes the Yellowpaper for Ethereum and Vitalik confirms Ethereum will be further developed by the Ethereum Foundation.
2015: The first block of Ethereum was successfully mined, marking the official milestone of the establishment of the Ethereum Blockchain.
2016: Ethereum had an Ethereum Hard Fork and The DAO was Hacked, leading to the split of Ethereum into two coins, Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.
How Ethereum virtual currency works
To better understand how Ethereum works, participants need to understand more about blockchains and how they work, as well as how ETH prices work in the market. Since Ethereum's blockchain is like every other blockchain, they are created by networks of computers called Nodes.
To be able to participate in Ethereum networks, Nodes need Ethereum Client software such as: Parity, Geth, etc. Once installed, Nodes must run a virtual machine program called Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
EVM takes care of the execution of smart contracts on the Ethereum network. When developers want to build decentralized applications (DApps) on Ethereum, they have to implement smart contracts using the Solidity programming language.
EVM is a virtual machine that performs operations such as transaction orders and smart contracts on the Ethereum network. To activate this network operation requires a fee called gas, in Ethereum this fee will be paid in Ether
Synthesize Ethereum's Token Standard
Ethereum tokens are digital assets developed using the ERC (Ethereum Request for Comments) standard that provides common rules for easier and more efficient deployment of tokens on the Ethereum network.
ERC20 Standard: This is a general rule proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2015 to help developers easily deploy Fungible Tokens on the Ethereum platform.
ERC721 Standard: A set of standards for the issuance of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) proposed in 2018.
ERC1155 Standard: A combination of ERC20 and ERC721 for Non-Fungible and Fungible tokens.
ERC777 Standard: An improvement of the ERC20 standard, which improves security and flexibility issues in the management of tokens on the Ethereum network.
Advantages and disadvantages between ETH and Bitcoin
Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) are the two most popular cryptocurrencies in the crypto market and are used in forex trading. Here are some advantages and limitations of each of these coins:
Intended use: Bitcoin is designed as a peer-to-peer electronic payment system. Meanwhile, Ethereum is designed as a platform for developing decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts (smart contracts) on the blockchain.
Total Supply: Bitcoin has a fixed total supply of 21 million BTC, while Ethereum has no fixed total supply.
Algorithm: Both threads have the same consensus mechanism, the difference is that Bitcoin uses algorithm (SHA-56) and Ethereum uses Ethash algorithm.
Transaction speed: Ethereum has a faster processing speed than Bitcoin, with the ability to handle 20 to 25 transactions per second, while Bitcoin can only handle about 7 transactions per second.
