About Ethereum

Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, it is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and applications without central authority control. Unlike Bitcoin, which primarily functions as digital currency, Ethereum operates as a programmable global computer where developers can create any type of decentralized service.

Guides

  • How to Read an Order Book

    An order book is a live list of every unfilled buy and sell order for one trading pair, sorted by price, with buyers stacked below the current price and sellers stacked above it, and reading it tells you what your order will actually cost before you place it.

  • Layer 1 vs Layer 2: What the Difference Means When You Buy and Move Crypto

    A layer 1 is a blockchain that settles its own transactions, while a layer 2 is a separate network that processes transactions off the main chain and posts them back to the layer 1 for settlement, which matters to you because the same token on two networks costs different amounts to move and does not share a deposit address.

  • Spread and Slippage: The Costs That Aren't on the Fee Page

    The spread is the gap between the price you can buy at and the price you can sell at in the same moment, and slippage is the difference between the price you were shown and the price your order actually filled at, and neither one appears as a line item on your trade confirmation.
