Ethereum

Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that supports smart contracts - self-executing programs that run on its distributed network. It is the foundation for a vast ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps), tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFTs, and uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.

Ethereum publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Ethereum JSON RPC API API. Tagged areas include Blockchain, DeFi, Ethereum, JSON-RPC, and Smart Contracts.

The Ethereum catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Ethereum’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.
