EthaX (ETHAX) is a cryptocurrency created by the Ethereum foundation in 2021. It is built on the Ethereum network, but it is branded and marketed separately. It has been designed to provide low cost access to the cryptocurrency market, while maintaining the security and reliability of the Ethereum blockchain. EthaX is currently the third largest currency in terms of market capitalization. It has a current value of over $23 Billion. It has a total supply of 21 million coins and is traded on major exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken. EthaX was founded by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who wanted to create a cryptocurrency that allowed users to transact with ease, but with minimum fees. To this end, EthaX utilizes a consensus-driven mechanism called Ethash, which allows users to process their transactions quickly, cheaply and securely. What makes EthaX unique is its ability to support smart contracts. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, EthaX allows users to execute decentralized applications without the need to trust a third-party. This makes it attractive to developers who want to develop new applications without worrying about being targeted by hackers. One of the main advantages of EthaX is its low transaction fees. This is due to its usage of “proof of stake”, which allows users to stake their coins in order to secure the network. EthaX is used to purchase goods and services online, to send money internationally and to trade contracts and digital assets. The coin can also be used as a secure method of storing digital assets and data. EthaX can be purchased and sold on various exchanges, including Coinbase, Binance, Huobi, KuCoin and Gemini. It is also possible to purchase EthaX directly from the Ethereum foundation's website.
