What it is for
Ethereum
A platform other apps build on
38 coins we checked that say they are for a platform other apps build on, worth $403.04B together. Bigger circle, bigger coin. Order is size only.
Ethereum is a shared computer network that lets people hold and use their own money, records and online identity without a company in the middle.
Its listing puts it this way: Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, it is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and applications without central authority control.
Problem it says it solves: a platform other apps build on. 38 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $403,042,297,560.
Where it trades: Binance, Bitfinex, Gate, OKX, Coinbase International Exchange
Smart Contract Platform 449 coins, together worth $718.59B. Sorted by size.
The average coin in this group is worth $936.02M. This coin is worth 320 times that average.

What holding it gets you
Ethereum
Pays for every use of its network
Every transaction on its network pays a fee in it. That is the built-in reason anyone needs it.
- Every transaction on its network pays a fee in it
- Can be staked to earn a share of network rewards
That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.
Ethereum is a shared computer network that lets people hold and use their own money, records and online identity without a company in the middle.
Its listing puts it this way: Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, it is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and applications without central authority control.
