In its short, three-year history, Ethereum has already spawned a vibrant ecosystem of developers, thinkers, and entrepreneurs excited by the potential of a decentralized network for computing power.

In 2013, Vitalik Buterin released a whitepaper describing a blockchain platform that was “Turing complete,” and would thus permit the development of decentralized applications. Buterin had been involved with Bitcoin, but he argued for the need for a scripting language that would permit the creation of smart contracts on the blockchain.

While the early Ethereum developers largely came from the Bitcoin community, they quickly started the formation of something completely new. Where Bitcoin is about enabling financial transactions on the blockchain, the goal of Ethereum is to become a platform for distributed computing.

We’ve developed this living guide to everything Ethereum so that you can keep track of the vibrant ecosystem rallying around the promise of a new kind of computing. These resources will serve as a way to start developing a deep understanding of this rich, new space in crypto.
