¿Qué es Ethereum?

Ethereum, lanzada en 2015, es una plataforma descentralizada que introdujo al mundo los contratos inteligentes. Esta tecnología permite a los desarrolladores crear aplicaciones descentralizadas (dApps) para una variedad de usos más allá de la mera moneda: desde la creación de mercados de arte digital hasta el desarrollo de servicios financieros seguros e incluso juegos. Ether (ETH) es la criptomoneda que impulsa la plataforma Ethereum. Sirve como "combustible" para la red, necesario para ejecutar todas las transacciones y servicios.

Preguntas habituales sobre Ethereum

Preguntas reales, respuestas claras. Si tienes alguna que no hayamos incluido, escríbenos y la añadiremos.

Is Ethereum safe? +

Ethereum itself is a public network — no single company runs it, which is part of what makes it trustworthy. The risk people usually mean is price: ETH can move sharply in a single day. Only put in what you'd be comfortable losing while you learn.

Is Ethereum a good investment for beginners? +

No one can promise that — ETH's price can rise or fall sharply, and past performance is never a guarantee. What you can control is how you invest: many beginners buy a small amount on a regular schedule (called dollar-cost averaging) instead of trying to time the market, and only invest what they can afford to lose. Treat Ethereum as a long-term way to learn, not a get-rich-quick bet.

Can I buy a small amount? +

Yes. You can start with as little as €1 of ETH. You don't need to buy a whole coin — they're divisible to many decimal places.

Where is my ETH stored? +

When you buy through CryptoUnity, your ETH is held in BitGo-secured custody — the same provider used by major institutions. You can also withdraw it to your own wallet at any time.

What can I actually do with it? +

You can hold it (many people do, hoping the price rises over time), send it to friends or merchants who accept it, or trade it for other coins. Inside the app you can also set up a weekly auto-buy.

What's the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum? +

Bitcoin is digital money. Ethereum is a platform that runs programs (called smart contracts), which can do things like power apps, games, and financial tools. Many people own both for different reasons.
