Ethereum’s features
Think of smart contracts as robot agreements that automatically do what they're supposed to when certain conditions are met. For example, a smart contract could automatically transfer ownership of a car once payment is received, making the process quicker and safer.
Ethereum is programmable, which means developers can build their own applications on its platform. These can range from games to financial services, all benefiting from blockchain's security and transparency. It's like having an app store that's open and fair, where anyone can contribute.
Just like Bitcoin, Ethereum operates on a decentralised network. This means it's run by thousands of computers around the world instead of one central place. It gives power back to the users, ensuring that no single entity has control over the entire network or its data.
