Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain network with Turing-complete smart contract functionality. Ether (ETH) is the native cryptocurrency.
Use Ethereum to build apps and organizations, hold assets, transact, and communicate without being controlled by a central authority. Ethereum uses the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.
Infura provides access to the Ethereum JSON-RPC API method library that interacts with the Ethereum blockchain. Methods include functionality for reading and writing data to the network, and executing smart contracts.
