Ethereum - Smart Contracts
Ethereum Developers - Smart Contract Specialists
Ethereum is the blockchain for dApps. The platform runs smart contracts—programmable code on the blockchain. DeFi, NFTs, dApps—everything runs on Ethereum. We've built Ethereum apps that handle millions in transactions, manage complex DeFi protocols. Solidity is the language, Web3 is the interface. Gas costs can be high—network congestion drives fees up—but if you need blockchain functionality, Ethereum is the standard.
