Ethereum is the second largest blockchain by market capitalization and the largest by usage. Like Bitcoin, it is based on a public, decentralized blockchain that is accessible to everyone.
Ethereum was introduced in 2013 in the form of a document, the “"White Paper“”, proposing an evolution of the Bitcoin protocol.
It was written by Vitalik Buterin, a young programmer on the Bitcoin team and co-founder of Bitcoin Magazine.
The concept quickly attracted the interest of other cryptocurrency enthusiasts at the time, who joined the project.
To name but a few: Anthony Di Iorio, Charles Hoskinson, Joseph Lubin and Gavin Wood.
These people are now considered co-founders of Ethereum.
Its main difference from Bitcoin is the creation of decentralized applications directly on the blockchain, which has led to the emergence of decentralized finance (DeFi).
