The official community-driven website serving as a comprehensive guide and resource hub for Ethereum users, developers, and builders.
What is Ethereum.org?
Ethereum.org is the primary online portal for Ethereum, a global decentralized platform for money and applications, maintained by hundreds of community volunteers including translators, coders, and designers.
Launched alongside Ethereum in 2015, it provides accessible explanations of core concepts like smart contracts, proof-of-stake consensus, and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), alongside tutorials for building dApps, wallets, and DeFi tools.
Ethereum.org also promotes participation, from staking ETH for network security to joining DAOs, underscoring Ethereum’s open, permissionless nature where anyone can contribute without permission.
