Ethereum is a decentralized, open source, and distributed computing platform (blockchain) that enables the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications, also known as dapps.
Smart contracts are computer protocols that facilitate, verify, or enforce the negotiation and performance of a digital agreement. For instance, a smart contract could be used to represent a legal contract emulating the logic of contractual clauses or a financial contract specifying responsibilities of the counterparts and automated flows of value.
