Ethereum's Origins and Development into the Second-Largest Blockchain

Vitalik Buterin had a vision for Ethereum in 2013 that went beyond the financial usage of Bitcoin as a platform for decentralized applications.

Buterin worked on Ethereum's infrastructure alongside co-founders Gavin Wood and Joseph Lubin.

With an initial coin offering price of $0.31 per token, Ethereum raised nearly $16 million in 2014.

Ethereum made smart contracts possible, allowing blockchain agreements to be automated and self-executing.

With a huge ecosystem of decentralized apps, Ethereum is currently the second-largest blockchain.
