Ether

Ether (ETH) ist die native Kryptowährung der Ethereum-Blockchain, fungiert als Treibstoff für Operationen innerhalb des Netzwerks. Es erfüllt mehrere Zwecke: Als digitale Währung kann es gekauft, verkauft und als Investment gehalten werden; als Utility-Token wird es verwendet, um Transaktionsgebühren und Rechenleistungen im Ethereum-Netzwerk zu bezahlen. Ether ist wesentlich für den Betrieb von dezentralen Anwendungen (dApps) und die Ausführung von Smart Contracts auf Ethereum, und stellt die notwendigen Ressourcen für diese Operationen bereit. Mit der Weiterentwicklung von Ethereum, insbesondere durch 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 verschiedenster blockchain-basierter Anwendungen.
