Ethereum technology is now becoming the main attraction in the digital world as it is popping up over the last couple years in a major way due to the relation with the Bitcoin. Ethereum is the key as well as the king in the world of cryptocurrencies as it is changing the face of financial transactions. It is at higher demand rate as to the increase of users in the bitcoin.

The users tend to tell that Ethereum is cryptocurrency. It is a platform for users which allows the individuals to do transactions and make contracts with the help of currency known as “ether”. The difference that this technology has from Bitcoin is that it helps us to understand what a cryptocurrency stands for and the concept of a blockchain.

The process of encryption creates this digital currency. It does not have any physical form. A blockchain creates and manages the cryptocurrency which exists as data on the internet.

The blockchain is known as the digital ledger which is created by many numbers of computers. All the transactions are recorded in blocks to validate on the blockchain network. Everyone in the network defines the ledger. Databases stores the transactional records thus so making it easy for users to verify all the transactions.

How does Ethereum work?

This technology is also somewhat like Bitcoin with more advanced modification and innovation. The Bitcoin blockchain is a model with transactions. The Ethereum blockchain helps to identify the state of the account and all transitions. On the other hand, Ethereum blockchain helps to exchange information and value between two accounts.

The nodes that validate the network collect this transaction fees. The miners are people who create the Ethereum network who does the process of verification and execution of the transaction. Once the transactions are over they group these to validate the situation of the accounts in the Ethereum blockchain into blocks. The Miners get ether for their services. Therefore the economic incentive of people will rise and they will also dedicate electricity and hardware to Ethereum network.

The Bitcoin network has got miners who fundamentally solve the problem in order to easily mine a block. This term is known as a “Proof of Work”. This helps to validate any computational problem because of its fundamentality. The Ethereum’s Proof of Work works without any interference which allows a more decentralized distribution in the blockchains.
