Ether

Ether (ETH) is de native cryptocurrency van de Ethereum-blockchain, functionerend als brandstof voor operaties binnen het netwerk. Het dient meerdere doeleinden: als digitale valuta kan het worden gekocht, verkocht en aangehouden als investering; als een utility token wordt het gebruikt om transactiekosten en computationele diensten op het Ethereum-netwerk te betalen. Ether is essentieel voor het functioneren van gedecentraliseerde applicaties (dApps) en het uitvoeren van slimme contracten op Ethereum, waarbij de benodigde middelen voor deze operaties worden geleverd. Naarmate Ethereum zich ontwikkelt, vooral met upgrades zoals Ethereum 2.0, blijft de rol van Ether centraal, waarbij het niet alleen transacties faciliteert maar ook het bredere ecosysteem van gedecentraliseerde financiën (DeFi) en diverse op blockchain gebaseerde toepassingen.
