The Ethereum white paper, published by Vitalik Buterin in 2013, proposed a decentralized platform that goes beyond digital currency by enabling smart contracts—self-executing code that runs on a global blockchain. It introduced Ethereum as a programmable blockchain for building decentralized applications (dApps) without relying on centralized servers.
