When gauging the Ethereum vs. Ethereum Classic debate, specific questions typically arise. People ask why do they have similar names? How are they related? How are they different? Furthermore, if they came from the same origin, what caused the split? 

The recent Ethereum bull run has caused quite a stir in the crypto space. Although the continuation of the 2020 Bitcoin bull runis still in full swing, eyes are turning to Ethereum as it approaches its previous all-time high. Some Ethereum predictions even suggest that we could see an Ethereum bull run in 2021 perform in a similar way to Bitcoin's atmospheric rise during late 2017.

EIP-1559 could offer some good news for those longing to see improvements to Ethereum's user experience and the current gas fee system. This proposal has recently been accepted into Ethereum’s London network upgrade scheduled to come to the mainnet this summer. This upgrade is now being intensely debated following its recent inclusion in the London fork, even though it has been over two years since EIP-1559's initial proposal.

As transaction fees on the Ethereum Network push new highs, the competition between smart contract-enabled blockchains is heating up. Ethereum has long been the go-to platform for decentralized applications (dApps). The network effect of Ethereum and Ethereum-based dApps has been a catalyst in creating an environment where developers can program money in innovative new ways. Without the success of Ethereum over the years, the demand for smart contract-enabled blockchains would likely be substantially lower. However, several new projects, including those established by founding members of the Ethereum team, have created compelling alternatives to the number one decentralized finance (DeFi) blockchain. Blockchain-based smart contract platforms are becoming fiercely competitive in their adoption and utility. But, what are the differences between these blockchains and smart contract development platforms?

As you are probably aware, we are on the verge of an Ethereum revolution, colloquially known as ETH 2.0. This upgrade is going to bring in a lot of innovations to the popular Ethereum protocol.

Smart contracts have pretty much become an integral part of the “blockchain offering” alongside cryptocurrencies. However, we are at a weird conjuncture wherein we are either overestimating or underestimating the real capabilities of smart contracts. In this article, let’s gain a clear perspective of what they are and how they can revolutionize different industries and sectors as we move towards the future. So, how do smart contracts work? Let’s begin with the basics.

Ethereum is one of the most fascinating and impactful projects in the crypto space. By bringing in the idea of programmable blockchains, Ethereum pretty much ushered in the era of smart contract platforms. Now with Ethereum 2.0 just around the corner, let’s familiarize ourselves with Ethereum code.
