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's the most common way to buy Ethereum (ETH) with Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH)?
The most common method is using a cryptocurrency exchange that acts as a fiat on-ramp for UAH. Users typically complete a KYC/AML verification process, then deposit UAH via Ukrainian bank cards (like PrivatBank or Monobank) or bank transfers to purchase ETH directly. P2P platforms are also a popular alternative for direct trading. -
Why is the UAH/ETH pair a key entry point into the world of dApps and DeFi?
Acquiring ETH with UAH provides direct access to the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH is the native currency required to pay for blockchain transaction fees, known as 'gas fees', which are necessary to interact with smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This allows you to use thousands of decentralized applications (dApps), including DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and games. -
What should I know about transaction fees after converting UAH to ETH?
After your UAH to ETH digital asset purchase, any transfer from the exchange to a personal digital wallet or any interaction on the Ethereum network will incur a 'gas fee'. This fee is paid in Gwei (a smaller unit of ETH) and fluctuates based on network congestion. To manage costs, consider using Layer-2 solutions like Polygon or Arbitrum, which offer lower transaction fees for compatible dApps. -
How can I securely store my Ethereum after buying it with UAH?
For optimal security, you should transfer your ETH from the exchange to a personal digital wallet where you control the private keys. Options include software wallets (hot wallets) like MetaMask for easy access to dApps, or hardware wallets (cold storage) like Ledger or Trezor for the highest level of security against online threats. Never share your private keys or seed phrase. -
Can I stake the Ethereum I purchased with UAH?
Yes, once you have acquired ETH via a UAH on-ramp, you can participate in staking to help secure the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network and earn rewards. You can do this by running your own validator node (requires 32 ETH), or more commonly, by joining a staking pool or using a liquid staking derivative protocol. This allows you to earn a yield on your digital asset holdings.
