Things to know about ETH

What is the difference between Ether and Ethereum?

Ether (ETH) can be thought of as the ""fuel"" or gas fee that powers the Ethereum network. Ethereum refers to the actual blockchain technology or smart contract platform that underpins Ether. Whenever you send ETH or use an Ethereum application, you must pay a fee in ETH to use the network. This fee acts as an incentive for a block producer to process and verify your transaction.

Why does Ether have intrinsic value?

Ether serves two main purposes: one as a gas fee to transact on the Ethereum network and second as a speculative store of value. Currently, Ethereum users pay the transaction fees in ETH and ETH holders bear the cost of inflation from miner block rewards. In the absence of speculation, ETH holders are betting that demand for ETH from users of decentralized applications (dApps) outpaces the rate of inflation via block rewards. The second purpose comes from its monetary premium as a non-sovereign store of value. With the transition to Proof-of-Stake and changes to its monetary policy (EIP-1559), ETH now better competes with BTC as a monetary asset given its scarcity, durability and censorship-resistant qualities.

What is Ether used for?

Ether is used within the Ethereum ecosystem to perform a range of functions, including its native use as a gas fee to transact on the network, use as collateral for DeFi lending applications (to be lent or borrowed), use as medium of exchange for alternative crypto assets and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), acceptance in select retailers and service providers, and lastly, users can stake their ETH to become a validator to help secure the network in exchange for block rewards and transaction fees.
