About
About Ethereum
Ethereum is a programmable platform that enables money and automated agreements to work without intermediaries. It goes beyond simple transactions by running code that executes exactly as written, with no company or authority in control.
Developers build financial tools, contracts, and applications directly on this global network.
Smart contracts handle agreements automatically and transparently. When conditions are met, they execute without anyone needing to enforce them. This opens possibilities for financial services, digital ownership, and applications that are accessible to anyone with internet. Everything operates on a public ledger that anyone can verify.
- Description
- Ethereum is a programmable blockchain that introduced smart contracts, enabling decentralized applications (dApps) and token creation. It transitioned from proof-of-work to a more energy-efficient proof-of-stake consensus (Ethereum 2.0). Ethereum supports a vast ecosystem, including decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and DAOs.

- Time/confirmations until irreversible

- Whitepaper
No white paper is required under MiCAR, as there is no offer of ETH to the public (considering this is an old token, which has been in circulation for several years). Should there be an offer, no white paper is required under MiCAR as there is no identifiable issuer.
Nevertheless, a white paper has been published by CASP LCX AG and Crypto Risk Metrics GmbH, as included in ESMA's interim register for White papers for crypto-assets other than ART and EMT. This white paper is however published in relation to admission to trading of crypto-asset.
