About
Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum is a blockchain platform designed to build decentralized applications (dApps) using smart contracts. Ether (ETH), its native cryptocurrency, is the second largest crypto by market cap. It’s used to pay for transaction fees (gas), run dApps, and execute smart contracts. Ether also plays a key role in decentralized finance (DeFi), staking, NFTs, and decentralized exchanges.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the best way to buy Ethereum (ETH) with Chilean Pesos (CLP)?
The most common method is through a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that operates in Chile and offers a direct CLP/ETH trading pair. These platforms act as a fiat on-ramp, allowing you to deposit CLP via local bank transfers, Webpay, or Khipu. After completing the required KYC/AML verification, you can place an order on the exchange's order book to purchase ETH directly with your deposited pesos. -
What are the advantages of using the CLP/ETH pair for accessing decentralized applications (dApps)?
Using the CLP/ETH pair provides a direct entry point into the vast Ethereum ecosystem without first converting to USD or another major currency. This can reduce conversion fees and complexity. Once you have ETH, you can interact with thousands of dApps built on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), participate in DeFi protocols, and manage ERC-20 standard tokens directly from your digital wallet. -
What kind of fees should I expect when trading Chilean Pesos for ETH?
There are typically three types of fees: 1) Deposit fees for funding your exchange account with CLP, which vary by payment method. 2) Trading fees on the CLP/ETH transaction itself, usually a small percentage of the trade value. 3) Withdrawal fees, which include the exchange's fee plus the Ethereum network's 'gas fee'. This gas fee is dynamic, measured in Gwei, and depends on network congestion. Using Layer-2 solutions for transactions can sometimes lower these network costs. -
How is a CLP to ETH blockchain transaction secured and verified?
The initial CLP deposit is secured by traditional Chilean financial systems like Transbank. Once the trade is executed on an exchange, the transfer of ETH to your digital wallet is a blockchain transaction. This transaction is broadcast to the Ethereum network, validated by nodes, and immutably recorded in a new block through the network's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This decentralized validation makes the transaction secure and tamper-proof. -
Do I need a specific type of digital wallet to hold ETH purchased with CLP?
Yes, you need an Ethereum-compatible wallet. While exchanges provide a custodial wallet, for secure, long-term storage, it is highly recommended to transfer your ETH to a non-custodial wallet where you control the private keys. Any wallet that supports the Ethereum network and ERC-20 tokens will work, including hardware wallets for maximum security or software wallets for ease of use with dApps.
