Frequently asked questions

How is Ethereum different from Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is designed as sound money. Ethereum is designed as a general-purpose smart-contract platform. Bitcoin uses Proof of Work with fixed 21M supply; Ethereum uses Proof of Stake with dynamic supply.

Can I stake Ethereum?

Yes. Solo staking requires 32 ETH. Liquid staking (Lido, Rocket Pool) and exchange staking (Coinbase, Kraken) have no minimum. Yields ~3–4% annualized in 2026.

What is ETH gas?

Gas is the unit for measuring transaction cost on Ethereum. Users pay gas fees in ETH. Since EIP-1559, part of every fee is burned.
