What is ETH?

ETH is the native asset of the Ethereum blockchain, powering the largest smart contract ecosystem in crypto.

ETH pays gas fees, can be staked to secure the network and earn rewards, and serves as the primary collateral and trading pair across Ethereum DeFi.

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.

What is Ethereum?

Ethereum is a decentralized smart contract platform, home to the majority of DeFi protocols, stablecoins, and tokenized assets.

Its native token, ETH, is used for gas fees, staking, and as core collateral throughout the ecosystem.

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

Ethereum hosts the deepest liquidity and most battle-tested applications in crypto, making it the default settlement layer for on-chain finance.

FAQs

Yes BOB Gateway is non-custodial. It uses atomic cross-chain swaps and an on-chain Bitcoin Light Client. At no point does BOB or any third party take custody of your assets. The protocol is trust minimized - solvers cannot take your Bitcoin without completing the swap, and you cannot receive tokens without sending BTC.
