Does Ethereum Have a Limited Supply?

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of fraud or third party interference.

Ethereum is not just a platform but also a programming language (Turing complete) running on a blockchain, helping developers to build and publish distributed applications. The Ethereum wallet is a gateway to decentralized applications on the Ethereum blockchain.

It allows you to hold and secure ether and other crypto-assets built on Ethereum, as well as write, deploy and use smart contracts.

NOTE: WARNING: Ethereum does not have a limited supply, and there is no fixed limit on the total number of Ether that will ever be created. Therefore, it is important to be aware that the market supply of Ether could potentially become infinite if new blocks are added to the Ethereum blockchain. It is also important to note that the rate at which Ether is created can change over time.

The native token of the Ethereum network is called ether. It is used to pay for transaction fees and computational services on the network.

Ethereum has a limited supply of ETH tokens. The ETH token sale in 2014 raised $18 million, which resulted in 60 million ETH being created. Of this, 12 million ETH went to the development team and early contributors, while 48 million ETH was sold to the public in the token sale. The total supply of ETH is capped at 72 million.

No more ETH can be created after this point. This system was put in place to prevent inflationary effects from taking place on the network.
