What is Ethereum (ETH)?
Ethereum est une plateforme de chaîne de blocs, à code source ouvert, qui possède sa propre cryptomonnaie, appelée ETH (ou Ether), et fonctionne sur le réseau ERC20. ERC20 fait référence à une norme de script qui dicte un certain nombre de règles et d’actions qu’un jeton ou un contrat intelligent Ethereum doit suivre et d’étapes pour pouvoir le mettre en œuvre. L’Ether, la cryptomonnaie d’Ethereum, est actuellement la deuxième plus grande en valeur boursière après le Bitcoin. Vous pouvez acheter et vendre des ETH en échange de n’importe quelle grande cryptomonnaie, comme BTC et XRP, ou une monnaie traditionnelle comme le dollar canadien, le dollar américain et l’euro. L’échange de cryptomonnaies s’apparente à un échange de devises traditionnelles - vous échangez des ETH contre des BTC de la même manière que vous échangez des CAD contre des USD. Vous pouvez également échanger des ETH contre des CAD en fonction du cours des ETH. Pour savoir comment acheter du Ethereum/ETH, faites défiler la page.
