Ethereum is a cryptocurrency which includes a programmable smart contract platform. The unit of currency is called the ether.
Ethereum was initially described by Vitalik Buterin in late 2013, formally described by Gavin Wood in early 2014 in the so-called "yellow paper" and launched 30 July 2015. It is among a group of "next generation" (or "Bitcoin 2.0") platforms.
The intended purpose of the Ethereum Project is to build and proliferate a decentralised and pseudonymous replacement for the World Wide Web: incentivized static content publication (Swarm), pseudonymous low-level messaging system (Whisper), trustless transactions (Ethereum) and an integrated user-interface (Mist).
Ethereum is an open source project. Development began in December 2013, with the first Go and C++ proof of concept builds (PoC1) being released in early February 2014. Since then, several further PoC builds have been released, culminating with the public launch of the Ethereum blockchain on 30 July 2015.

150 – Devcon 2 And The State Of Ethereum
DEVCON1 10:45am Day 5 Ethereum's CTO Dr. Gavin Wood presents "Ethereum for Dummies" or "So, now we've built it, WTF is it?"
Presented by Stephan Tual, CCO - (Twitter: @stephantual) Companion Document: https://medium.com/@ethereumproject/4790bf5f7743 Ethereum is a platform that makes it possible for any developer to write and distribute next-generation decentralized applications. Borrowing the concept of distributed consensus and cryptographic proof that makes cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin so effective in trustless payments, Ethereum extends the use of these technologies to trustless agreements. This allows developers to easily build innovative new products on a censorship and collusion-resistant foundation. Ethereum will go live in Winter 2014/2015, in the meantime we are regularly releasing alpha software so you can try your hand at building distributed applications.

The blockchain project that has gotten the most traction is Ethereum. Led by the enigmatic Vitalik Buterin and a constellation of coders and venture capitalists, Ethereum could one day run the world.

A debate about the balance of consensus and immutability in Ethereum. The emergence of Ethereum Classic (ETC) creates a new paradigm for hard-fork currencies with two parallel systems (ETH and ETC). Can both survive? Should one dominate? Join the hosts Adam B. Levine, Stephanie Murphy and Andreas M. Antonopoulos and guests Martin Köppelmann, Charles Hoskinson and Anthony Di Iorio for a debate and discussion on the merits of Consensus, Immutability and the tale of the two chains.
