Is Ethereum Built on AWS?

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 built on a blockchain, which is a shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property. This enables developers 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.

NOTE: Warning: Ethereum is not built on AWS. Ethereum is a distributed platform that runs on a blockchain network, and it is not built on any specific cloud computing platform such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The project was bootstrapped via an ether presale in August 2014 by fans all around the world. It is developed by the Ethereum Foundation, a Swiss non-profit, with contributions from great minds across the globe.
