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 most common way to buy Ethereum (ETH) with Singapore Dollars (SGD)?
The most common method is through a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Users typically complete a KYC/AML verification, deposit SGD via local payment methods like FAST transfer or PayNow, and then use the SGD balance to purchase ETH on the platform's spot market. This process serves as a direct fiat on-ramp into the Ethereum ecosystem. -
Why is the SGD/ETH pair important for accessing DeFi and dApps?
The SGD/ETH pair provides a direct gateway for Singapore-based users to enter the vast Ethereum ecosystem. Since ETH is the native asset used to pay for transaction costs (gas fees) and interact with smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), acquiring it directly with SGD is the most efficient first step to participate in decentralized finance (DeFi), mint NFTs, or use thousands of decentralized applications (dApps) without needing intermediate currency conversions. -
What are the typical fees when converting SGD to ETH?
There are several potential fees. First, the cryptocurrency exchange will charge a trading fee, often a small percentage of the transaction value. Second, while SGD deposits via FAST or PayNow are often free, some platforms might charge a deposit fee. Finally, if you move your ETH from the exchange to a private digital wallet, you must pay the Ethereum network's gas fee, which is denominated in Gwei and fluctuates based on network congestion. This blockchain transaction fee is not set by the exchange. -
After buying ETH with SGD, can I withdraw it to a Layer-2 solution directly?
Yes, many modern cryptocurrency exchanges now support direct withdrawals to Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon. When purchasing ETH with your SGD balance, you can often select the destination network during the withdrawal process. Withdrawing directly to a Layer-2 network is highly advantageous as it allows you to interact with its dApp ecosystem while paying significantly lower transaction fees compared to the Ethereum mainnet. -
What kind of digital wallet do I need for ETH purchased with SGD?
For secure, long-term storage and to interact with dApps, you need a non-custodial wallet that supports Ethereum (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens. Popular choices include browser extension wallets like MetaMask, mobile wallets like Trust Wallet, or hardware wallets for maximum security. While you can store ETH on the exchange where you bought it, a non-custodial wallet gives you full control over your private keys and your digital assets, which is a core principle of decentralization.
