Is Ethereum a Parachain?

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 a programmable blockchain. It means that developers can create applications that run on the Ethereum blockchain.

NOTE: WARNING: Ethereum is not a parachain. Parachains are blockchain networks that are connected to the Polkadot network and use its shared security. Ethereum is a public blockchain network that operates independently of Polkadot. Therefore, Ethereum cannot be considered a parachain.

Developers can use these applications to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middleman or counterparty risk.

The Ethereum blockchain is fueled by ether, which is bought and sold on exchanges and used to power transactions on the network.

Is Ethereum a Parachain? No, Ethereum is not a Parachain.
