Ether

Ether (ETH) ist die native Kryptowährung der Ethereum-Blockchain, fungiert als Treibstoff für Abläufe innerhalb des Netzwerks. Es erfüllt mehrere Zwecke: Als digitale Währung kann es gekauft, verkauft und als Investition gehalten werden; als Utility-Token wird es zur Bezahlung von Transaktionsgebühren und Rechenleistungen im Ethereum-Netzwerk verwendet. Ether ist integraler Bestandteil für den Betrieb von dezentrale Anwendungen (dApps) und Ausführen intelligente Verträge auf Ethereum, indem die notwendigen Ressourcen für diese Operationen bereitgestellt werden. Während sich Ethereum weiterentwickelt, insbesondere mit Upgrades wie Ethereum 2.0, bleibt die Rolle von Ether zentral und ermöglicht nicht nur Transaktionen, sondern auch das breitere Ökosystem der dezentralen Finanzen (DeFi) und verschiedener blockchain-basierter Anwendungen.
