Decentralized Finance (DeFi) – Transforming Traditional Banking Through Blockchain and Smart Contract Technology
Apr 20, 2026
Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform launched in 2015 that enables smart contracts and decentralized
applications (dApps). Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is not only a digital currency but also a programmable network used
for DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 development. It allows developers to build secure and transparent applications without
centralized control. Ethereum plays a major role in the crypto ecosystem and continues to evolve with upgrades aimed at improving scalability, speed, and energy efficiency.
