"what JS did for the web, this will do for the block chain"

What it does

Ethereum is the community-run technology powering the cryptocurrency, ether (ETH) and thousands of decentralized applications.

Ethereum is a decentralized platform for resilient apps and infrastructure. Control your money, data, and identity, with no bank or middleman needed.

Ethereum is the global network where you control your assets, your data, and your identity. Ethereum has run continuously since 2015 without a single second of downtime. The code is open for anyone to verify. No company runs it, no one can shut it down, and thousands of independent operators keep it going worldwide. Your bank balance is a custody promise . Your Ethereum balance is true ownership. The code is public, agreements execute exactly as written. Think vending machine versus hoping the cashier gives correct change. No credit check, no minimum balance, no account approval. If you have internet, you're in. Changes happen through open proposals that anyone can participate in. Think…from ethereum.org
