Introduction to Blockchain Technology
Blockchain has emerged as one of the most revolutionary technologies in recent years, gaining global recognition from major IT corporations and experts alike. The Ethereum Enterprise Alliance (EEA), with members like J.P. Morgan, Microsoft, and Intel, highlights the growing industry support for decentralized solutions.
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is an open-source platform featuring smart contract functionality. It enables developers to build decentralized applications (DApps) that can manage:
- Digital voting systems
- Financial exchanges
- Crowdfunding platforms
- Intellectual property management
- Smart asset integration
Ethereum vs. Bitcoin: Key Differences
| Feature | Bitcoin | Ethereum |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Use | Digital currency | DApp platform |
| Philosophy | Digital gold | Programmable blockchain |
| Consensus | Proof-of-Work | Proof-of-Stake (post-merge) |
| Transaction Speed | ~7 TPS | ~15-30 TPS |
Industry experts increasingly view Ethereum as having greater long-term potential due to its versatility in application development.
