-Bitcoin blockchain is a public, decentralized, peer-to-peer blockchain ledger.

-It is open to all and any users who wish to trade bitcoins, can participate in the network, regardless of their identity.

-The public blockchain ensures that every transaction is approved and verified by every user and only then places the block on the blockchain.

-It works on the Proof of Work (POW) algorithm, where a user, who manages to solve a cryptographic puzzle in less computational time, is given the mining reward.

-Data once stored on the block cannot be altered or modified, thus protecting it from manipulations and tampering.

-Ethereum is also a publicly available blockchain platform, which can be accessed by any user.

-Ethereum serves two purposes: a) It allows the trading of cryptocurrencies between network users from around the world. Ether is Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency.
b) It is additionally intended to execute codes, called smart contracts, of different decentralized applications (DApps), hosted on the platform.

-Multiple DApps, irrespective of the programming language they are created in, can be executed on Ethereum.

-Smart contracts are pre-conditioned, self-triggered programs of code, that help execute the DApps on the Ethereum network.

-The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) enables the processing and execution of DApps on the Ethereum platform.
