How Ethereum works, how to connect, and core protocol and ecosystem concepts.

Payments, DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, identity, AI agents, and more.

Ethereum Use Cases

Payments & remittance: stablecoins (USDC, USDT) circulate heavily on Ethereum; cross-border transfers skip traditional banks, though gas and compliance remain constraints.

DeFi: decentralized lending, trading, derivatives, and yield aggregators—ETH is core collateral. DeFi Summer 2020 was a major ETH demand catalyst.

NFTs & digital ownership: art, gaming assets, membership passes via ERC-721/1155 enable on-chain provenance and trading.

DAOs: token-voted organizations govern treasuries and protocol parameters—a new coordination form on Ethereum.

Emerging areas: decentralized identity (DID), prediction markets, RWA tokenization, and AI agents with on-chain autonomy. Expanding use cases directly pull ETH demand as the settlement layer.
