描述
"Ethereum is an open source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. It supports a modified version of Nakamoto consensus via transaction-based state transitions. Ether is a cryptocurrency generated by the Ethereum platform and used to compensate mining nodes for computations performed.[3] Each Ethereum account has an ether balance and ether may be transferred from one account to another. Ethereum provides a decentralized virtual machine, the Ethereum Virtual Machine, which can execute scripts using an international network of public nodes.In 2016, as a result of the exploitation of a flaw in The DAO project's smart contract software, and subsequent theft of $50 million worth of ether, [6] Ethereum was split into two separate blockchains – the new separate version became Ethereum (ETH) with the theft reversed,[7] and the original continued as Ethereum Classic (ETC)." wikipedia.org | giselflorez.com
