Editorial profile
Ethereum overview
Ethereum is the native asset of Ethereum, a programmable blockchain whose state can execute smart contracts and support applications and tokens. ETH pays transaction fees, can be staked by validators, and serves as the unit in which protocol execution is metered. The ETH asset is therefore tied to this specific network, protocol, or issuer function rather than to a generic cryptocurrency category.
Sourcesethereum.orgEthereum uses proof of stake: validators deposit ETH, attest to blocks, and may lose staked ETH for dishonest behavior. ETH has no fixed maximum supply; protocol issuance rewards validators, while the base-fee portion of every transaction is burned. These mechanics describe how ETH is produced, issued, redeemed, burned, or used to secure its network; they do not imply any price outcome or investment view.
Sourcesethereum.orgA distinguishing feature is that Ethereum couples general-purpose smart-contract execution with a fee mechanism that burns ETH on every transaction. Net supply change therefore depends on validator issuance and the amount of transaction fees burned rather than on a hard cap. This named mechanism or use case is the asset-specific fact that separates ETH from tokens that may share a broad category but have different issuance, governance, or settlement designs.

ETH questions
Ethereum questions
What is ETH used for on Ethereum?
ETH pays for Ethereum execution, is deposited by proof-of-stake validators, and is the native asset transferred between Ethereum accounts.
What consensus mechanism secures ETH?
Ethereum uses proof of stake, with validators staking ETH to check and propose blocks.
Does ETH have a fixed supply cap?
No fixed maximum is specified. Ethereum issues ETH to validators and burns the base-fee portion of transactions, so supply can increase or decrease over a period.
