And how is it different to bitcoin?\n\nLONDON — Ether, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, has been stealing the limelight from bitcoin lately. The digital coin hit arecord high above $4,000on Monday and is now up over 450% since the beginning of 2021.\nThat doesn’t come close to the returns on meme-inspired crypto dogecoin, which is up over 11,000% year-to-date. But many crypto investors dismiss dogecoin aslittle more than a jokeand have compared its rise to theReddit-fueled trading frenzythat pumped up the prices ofGameStopand other stocks.\nSo what exactly is ether? And how is it different to bitcoin?\nHow it started\nEther is the native currency of Ethereum, an open-source blockchain platform. Ethereum was founded in 2013 by Russian-Canadian programmer Vitalik Buterin and several other crypto entrepreneurs. Many of the people who started Ethereum were previously involved in bitcoin.\nFor Buterin, bitcoin was too limited in functionality. In an interview withBusiness Insider, he compares it to a pocket calculator that \"does one thing well,\" whereas he said Ethereum is more like a smartphone with multiple applications you can use.\nThat's the main premise of Ethereum. Like bitcoin, it's built on blockchain technology — essentially a distributed computer network that records all cryptocurrency transactions. But unlike bitcoin, people can build apps on top of Ethereum.\nIn Buterin's own words, Ethereum is \"a blockchain with a built-in programming language\" and the \"most logical way to actually build a platform that can be used for many more kinds of applications.\"\nSmart contracts\nThe Ethereum network hosts what's known as smart contracts — collections of code that carry out a set of instructions and run on the blockchain.\nThese contracts are what power decentralized applications, or dapps, which are similar to smartphone apps that run onGoogle'sAndroid orApple'siOS operating systems, except they don't answer to one company or authority.\nRecently, activity on ether's network has surged thanks to therise of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, which are digital assets designed to represent ownership of unique virtual items. That's because many NFTs, from thecolorful online cats of CryptoKittiesto thecyberpunk-inspired avatars of CryptoPunks, run on Ethereum.\nPut simply, bitcoin is a payments network that can be used to transfer value between two people anywhere in the world. Today it's mainly used for investing. Ethereum, on the other hand, is aiming to create the infrastructure for an internet that isn't maintained by any single authority.\nA big trend in Ethereum right now isdecentralized finance, a term that refers to traditional financial products like loans and mortgages that are built using blockchain. In this case, blockchain replaces the middlemen — from banks to governments — and keeps track of everything.\nCriticisms\nEthereum is far from perfect, though. In 2017, the popularity of the game CryptoKitties caused ether's network to becomeheavily congested, slowing transactions significantly and leading the game's developers to raise their fees.\nScalability is one of the biggest issues with the Ethereum network today. It currently operates using a proof-of-work protocol, similar to bitcoin. This means that cryptocurrency miners with purpose-built computers have to compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles in order to validate transactions.\nThis has led to criticisms of both bitcoin and Ethereum from those who are worried about the massive amounts of energy consumed by their networks.\nBut Ethereum is currently undergoing an ambitious upgrade calledEthereum 2.0. This would see it move to a \"proof-of-stake\" model which relies on \"stakers\" who already hold some ether to process new transactions.\nCrypto investors say the upgrade should help the Ethereum network run at scale, processing lots more transactions at a faster pace and supporting apps with millions of users.\nIt could also lead to short-term price appreciation. More and more ether is getting stashed away for a \"lockup\" period by token holders seeking to become stakers and validate transactions on the new network. This could, in theory, limit the available supply of ether.\nStill, some skeptics remain unconvinced by digital currencies like bitcoin and ether. The latest rally has reminded some investors of the 2017 crypto bubble, in which bitcoin ran up toward $20,000 before plummeting as low as $3,122 a year later. Bears say cryptocurrencies arein another bubblethat's waiting to burst. But bulls are convinced things are different this time — namely, increased interest from institutional investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":230,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"CN","currentLanguage":"CN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":6,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/190782773"}
