It could be all Ethereum branches

1. Ethereum is a new and open blockchain platform, which allows anyone to build and use decentralized applications running through blockchain technology in the platform
just like bitcoin, Ethereum is neither controlled nor owned by anyone - it is an open source project created by many people around the world. Different from bitcoin protocol, Ethereum's design is very flexible and adaptable. It is very easy to create new applications on the Ethereum platform. With the release of homestead, anyone can use the applications on this platform safely
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain. It does not give users a series of preset operations, but allows users to create complex operations according to their own wishes. In this way, it can be used as a platform for many types of decentralized blockchain applications
in a narrow sense, Ethereum refers to a series of protocols that define a decentralized application platform. The core of Ethereum is Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), which can encode any complex algorithm. In computer science terminology, Ethereum is "Turing complete.". Developers can use the existing JavaScript and python as the model of other friendly programming languages to create applications running on the Ethereum simulator.

2. At the top of Ethereum is DAPP. It exchanges with the smart contract layer through Web3. JS. All smart contracts run on EVM (Ethereum virtual machine) and use RPC calls. Below EVM and RPC are the four core contents of Ethereum, including: blockchain, consensus algorithm, mining and network layer. Except DAPP, all other parts are in the Ethereum client. The most popular Ethereum client is geth (go Ethereum)

3.

It does not belong to MLM

Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function, which provides decentralized virtual machine (Ethereum virtual machine) to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency Ethereum

the concept of Ethereum was first proposed by vitalik buterin, a programmer, from 2013 to 2014, inspired by bitcoin, to the effect of "next generation cryptocurrency and decentralized application platform", and began to develop through crowdfunding in 2014. The market value of Ethernet currency is second only to bitcoin, and it is the second largest encrypted digital currency in the world

extended data

bitcoin has created the first decentralized cryptocurrency, and has fully tested the feasibility and security of blockchain technology in more than five years. In fact, bitcoin's blockchain is a set of distributed database. If a symbol bitcoin is added into it and a set of protocol is specified, the symbol can be transferred safely on the database without trusting a third party. The combination of these features perfectly constructs a currency transmission system bitcoin network

however, bitcoin is not perfect, and the scalability of the protocol is a deficiency. For example, there is only one symbol in the bitcoin Network - bitcoin, and users can't customize other symbols. These symbols can represent the company's stocks or debt certificates, which will lose some functions

In addition, a stack based scripting language is used in bitcoin protocol. Although this language has some flexibility to realize functions such as multi signature, it is not enough to build more advanced applications, such as decentralized exchanges. Ethereum is designed to solve the problem of insufficient scalability of bitcoin

4. Note that Ethereum is 2.0 now. As of 13:57 on the 4th, the current deposit contract address of Ethereum 2.0 has received 1000098eth, and 31252 addresses have completed the mortgage of 32eth. With the increasing number of mortgage, the annual yield of mortgage will graally decrease. After the mortgage amount reaches 1 million eth, the current annualized yield is about 15.7%. Zhongyuan, a well-known exchange, has taken the lead in opening the mining channel of eth2.0 verification node, and then launched qeth. Users can invest their own eth in verification node mining and exchange qeth to obtain liquidity, and then participate in mining. Compared with the disadvantages of eth2.0, qeth has too many things: the liquidity is guaranteed, the user does not have to bear the technical cost, the threshold of participation does not need 32 eth as low as 0.1eth, the nodes are maintained by the platform, and the income is distributed according to eth2.0.

5. This number is not fixed, because the price of bitcoin is constantly changing. The highest price of bitcoin is more than $19000. At present, the price of bitcoin is around $4000. You can log in to the bitcoin exchange to view the bitcoin market in real time.
