Ethereum (ETH) is a decentralized computing platform founded by Vitalik Buterin, Charles Hoskinson, and many others. Development began in 2014, with the official release occurring in mid-2015. Described by Buterin as a decentralized computing platform, Ethereum is a more wide-ranging application of the Decentralized Ledger Technology pioneered by Bitcoin.
Ethereum was designed with the intention of having a scripting language for application development, which Bitcoin lacks. Dapps (decentralized apps) are now some of the most intense research and development areas in the digital currency space. As mentioned by Buterin, Ethereum trades some security for versatility, though the development team is working extensively on improving security and scalability.
Though it does take inspiration from Bitcoin, it differs in many ways. One notable difference is that the consensus mechanism algorithm gives ASICs less of an advantage. Block times range from 10 - 15 seconds as opposed to Bitcoin’s 10 minutes. One notable incident in Ethereum’s history occurred in 2016, when a smart contract flaw resulted in the theft of approximately $50 million worth of Ether. This subsequently resulted in a hard fork, splitting the Ethereum blockchain in Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC).
Ethereum itself, like Bitcoin, has inspired many projects, including rival platforms that seek to address the shortcomings of Ethereum. These platforms include EOS and Tron, which at the moment are its two closest competing platforms. Ethereum’s purpose of creating a platform for decentralized applications is its most vaunted aspect, as dapps are widely considered to bring the next era of adoption as specific, well-developed and user friendly crypto-based applications bring legitimacy to digital assets in the wider world.

What happened in crypto in the past week? We are going down, as the crucial point for Bitcoin will be either $81K or 84K. Up or down, what is your bet? Ethereum seems to bring panic, with the Q-Day aproaching faster. Bitmine and Strategy...
Jules just confirmed in Discord that the first version should be out in the next 1–2 weeks. No exact date yet, but we're getting closer! Connecting N1 with venues like Lighter and eventually Hyperliquid could improve capital efficiency. Does this re...
How many times have you drawn a perfect support level, opened a position, only for the price to drop—just enough to hit your stop-loss—before rocketing upward without you? This happens because the masses look at static lines, while those who move the...
Solana allows executing numerous transactions in parallel. The core of such an architecture is its account structure. Every transaction contains the list of accounts used by it and specifies whether it uses accounts for reading or modification. This...
As you will know if you read my last post, this was not a good week. My main desktop's HDD crashed completely and I had to next-day a new one, then rebuild everything from scratch. Thankfully, I'm a little obsessive with backups. I've lost some stuff...
I’ve been looking for interesting opportunities in the market lately, and one thing I keep coming back to is the relationship between price and the 50 day and 200 day moving averages. My goal is simple: find assets that have corrected enough to offer...
I have mentioned "the letter" in about eight articles now, always in passing, always as the thing you should obviously write. A reader pointed out, reasonably, that I have never actually shown one. Fair. So here it is — the template, in full, free to...
I’d also love more direct communication from the team through AMAs and regular updates about what’s being built behind the scenes. I imagine seeing N1 talked about everywhere across Crypto X because the ecosystem keeps delivering. The community is he...
I've been part of the N1 community for a while now, trading, farming points, and following the team as the ecosystem grows. Here's what you can find on N1: → BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, BNB and other perpetual markets→ Orderbook trading and RFQ markets→ N1...
Are you ready for a ZEN autumn? zkVerify and Horizen are building complementary pieces of blockchain infrastructure, but both face the challenge of turning technical progress into sustainable token demand. Agent swarms are coming. The web can't block...
