Frontier (in development)

Ethereum Frontier (aka PoC-9) is expected to launch soon! For more details on Frontier, see Vinay Gupta's blog post.

Getting started

To get the basic concepts of Ethereum read the ethereum whitepaper and the design rationale or for a more formal review the ethereum yellow paper. See the ethereum development tutorial for quick start to developing smart contracts.

Don't get lost

Check the Glossary and our FAQ. There are separate wikis for information relevant to the C++ and Go implementations (Python and Javascript coming soon),
