Ethereum runs on Proof of Stake consensus and executes smart contracts via the EVM, with Layer 2 rollups scaling its throughput.
ETH underpins DeFi, NFTs, stablecoins, and thousands of dapps, making it one of the most held and utilized assets in crypto.

Ethereum uses Proof of Stake with hundreds of thousands of validators, and scales through Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum that inherit its security.
