Ethereum
Ethereum ($ETH) is a platform that helps developers to build and publish next-generation distributed applications.
Quick facts
- Ethereum is a Layer 1 blockchain
- Ethereum utilizes a “Proof of Work” (POW) consensus mechanism, but is planning to shift to “Proof of Stake” (PoS) consensus with the Ethereum 2.0 (ETH2) update
- Ethereum Mainnet (ETH1) has limited scaling capabilities; it averages 15 Transactions Per Second (TPS). But with ETH2, founder Vitalik Buterin claims TPS will scale to roughly 100,000 TPS
- Ethereum’s average Cost Per Transaction (CPT) is roughly $15.34, but during peak traffic, CPT can rise as high as a few hundred dollars per transaction
