## What we do

Ethereum provides a public blockchain network where individuals and organizations can hold digital assets, use decentralized applications, and execute smart contracts. Its native currency is ether (ETH), and the network supports use cases including payments, decentralized finance, NFTs, and DAOs. No single company operates or controls the network; it is maintained by thousands of independent operators worldwide.
