# Ethereum

Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform known for its smart contract capabilities. It has its native cryptocurrency called Ether (ETH) and supports decentralized applications (DApps). Furthermore, Ethereum addresses scalability issues by integrating Layer 2 solutions (such as Polygon, Optimism, Metis, etc.), allowing it to process more transactions efficiently. This innovation expands its applications in finance, gaming, and other industries, making it a versatile platform with a strong community of developers.

Nodies' Ethereum Nodes provide API access via the JSON-RPC specification. In this section, you will find detailed information on how to effectively interact with each API.
