Ethereum

ETHETH · Smart ContractsLoading price…

The largest smart-contract ecosystem — the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) underpins most of DeFi, NFTs, and tokens that aren't standalone chains. Layer 2 rollups (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) now handle much of the transaction volume cheaply while settling back to Ethereum's base layer, which secures itself via proof-of-stake.

How it works

1. User submits transaction
2. Validators order it (Proof-of-Stake)
3. Smart contract executes (EVM)
4. State updated on-chain
