ETH · Smart-contract network
The latest available Ethereum reference is $2,246.92 on ETH/USD at Coinbase Exchange. It is a read-only market observation, not an executable quote.
A programmable blockchain used for applications, tokens, and settlement.
Ethereum launched in 2015 and moved from proof of work to proof of stake in September 2022.
Ethereum appears in this directory for research, not as an endorsement. Its smart-contract network design should be judged through the documented network, supply, control, and failure model rather than through the ETH unit price alone.
The displayed ETH reference is the latest available observation from Coinbase Exchange for ETH/USD. It belongs to that venue, quote asset, and timestamp; Ethereum has no single official global price.
An executable ETH order can differ after spread, depth, slippage, fees, payment method, and location. The market label above shows which currency or asset defines the observed price.
Check validator distribution and finality first, then separate base-layer behaviour from application, bridge, oracle, and contract risk.
Ethereum uses a programmable base-layer network where validators order transactions and applications execute shared state.
For ETH, proof-of-stake rewards create ETH while the protocol burns part of transaction fees, so net supply can expand or contract.
Validators enforce the accepted chain while client teams, researchers, application developers, and the wider social layer coordinate upgrades.
The documented ETH role includes paying network fees, staking where supported, and interacting with applications.
For Ethereum, material risks include validator concentration, client bugs, smart-contract failures, bridge risk, governance changes, and volatile demand for block space.
Confirm the current ETH software or contract, the supply mechanism, parties with upgrade or administrator authority, dependencies such as validators, issuers or bridges, and liquidity in the exact ETH/USD market. Leave any unsupported field unanswered instead of filling it with a market-cap ranking or social claim.
Ethereum launched in 2015 and moved from proof of work to proof of stake in September 2022.
Validators propose and attest to blocks while multiple execution and consensus clients implement the protocol.
Ethereum prioritizes programmable shared state, so application and smart-contract behavior matter alongside the native asset.
Short answers to the things readers usually need before using a market number.
The current Bitcoin.now reference is based on ETH/USD from Coinbase Exchange. It updates from public market data and is informational only.
Validators propose and attest to blocks while multiple execution and consensus clients implement the protocol.
Validator concentration, client bugs, smart-contract failures, bridge risk, governance changes, and volatile demand for block space.
No. USD is fiat money. USDT is a privately issued stablecoin that targets the U.S. dollar. Bitcoin.now keeps those quote assets visibly separate.
No. Bitcoin.now has no accounts, custody, wallet connections, or order execution. It provides prices and education only.
