Ethereum is a digital platform that adopts blockchain technology and expands its use to a wide variety of applications, while ether is its native cryptocurrency.In the world of digital finance it is common for cryptocurrency to be called the network, although in reality they are not the same.
The ethereum platform, founded in 2015 by programmer Vitalik Buterin, sought to be an instrument for decentralized and collaborative applications on which smart contracts (dAPPs) can be made.
Like bitcoin, the value of ether skyrocketed in a short period of time.In January 2016, ether was trading around one dollar and currently has an all-time high of 4953.73 units.
The price of the Ethereum cryptocurrency for today at 09:30 hours (UTC) is $2,691.26 per unit.

After several months of delay and with the fear that it would never happen, finally, on September 15, 2022, Ethereum carried out its long-awaited merger or update to the new level 2.0 with the promise of improving the experience of the users of this cryptocurrency.
“The Merge” is a transformation in the way Ethereum processes transactions and how new Ether tokens are created.

Its defenders believe that the merger will give Ethereum an advantage over its main rival, Bitcoin, as it could increase its use.
In the Proof Stake process, Ether owners will lock set amounts of their cryptocurrencies to verify new records in the blockchain, earning new coins in addition to their “staked” crypto.
