Ethereum has expanded on Bitcoin’s decentralized digital currency by constructing a global network that supports an interconnected marketplace of decentralized applications (dApps) — from decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) to Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Ethereum’s application cases are extensive and rapidly developing, allowing blockchain initiatives to deliver greater efficiency, security, and decentralized equity to sectors around the world.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
Decentralized finance refers to financial services and goods, such as lending, borrowing, and earning interest, that can be accessed on public blockchains, such as the Ethereum blockchain, without the approval of a third party, such as a bank.
Non-fungible Token (NFT)
Unique and unreplicable digital asset held on a blockchain, such as Ethereum, that is an NFT. NFTs can represent digital art, in-game products, and even real-world assets such as land and houses.
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO)
Decentralized autonomous organizations are blockchain-based organizations that operate without central authorities. A community of stakeholders votes on administrative decisions, which are governed by software-encoded rules. DAOs were among the earliest innovations tested on Ethereum and continue to have an impact today. Although the 2016 hack of the first Ethereum-based DAO was a watershed moment in blockchain history, DAO continue to be open-source and community-governed. Several DAO, such as MolochDAO and MetaCartel, operate similarly to the original DAO by pooling user funds and distributing grants to Ethereum entrepreneurs.
Initial Coin Offerings (ICO)
Initial Coin Offerings, commonly known as ICOs or Token Sales, is a way of funding whereby early-stage startups generate “tokens” and sell them for Ether. Individuals purchase these tokens in order to use them within the application that the startup is developing, or sometimes for purely speculative reasons.
Bancor was one of the largest Ethereum ICOs, raising $153 million in three hours through the sale of its BNT coin.
Other Cryptocurrencies
On the Ethereum blockchain, it is possible to create custom currency that may be purchased with ETH. Tether and USDC, the two largest stable coins on the cryptocurrency market, are examples of cryptocurrencies based on Ethereum.
