Welcome to the Ethereum Wiki

This is the community-maintained wiki covering all sorts of information on the next-generation peer-to-peer technology platform build by ÐΞV including Ethereum, the generalized blockchain for smart contract development, and Whisper, the private low-level datagram communication platform.

Frontier is aimed at exchangers and miners. Homestead is aiming for Ðapps developers, while Metropolis is aiming for end users with the release of the Mist browser. Serenity is meant to move from consensus through Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake.
