[Read our how to buy Ethereum guide →](/how-to-buy-ethereum/) ## About Ethereum (ETH) Ethereum (ETH) is the Ethereum network's own base-layer coin, powering a blockchain where developers deploy arbitrary code to the Ethereum Virtual Machine rather than recording simple transfers. That programmability is what lets Ethereum host DeFi, NFTs and stablecoins that run without a central intermediary. Ethereum was proposed by Vitalik Buterin, who published its whitepaper in 2013, and the network went live with its Frontier genesis block in 2015. Since an upgrade called The Merge in September 2022 it has run on proof-of-stake, which Ethereum's own documentation describes as far less energy-intensive than the mining it replaced. ETH is Ethereum's native asset, not one of the ERC-20 tokens the network popularised. Our [Ethereum guide](/how-to-buy-ethereum/) has the fuller history and roadmap.

Once your account is verified and funded, ETH orders fill the moment you confirm them, at the live rate. AUD deposits via PayID are typically near-instant, so you can buy as soon as the funds land in your Digital Surge account. Can I sell my ETH back to Australian dollars? Yes. You can sell ETH on Digital Surge at the live market rate whenever you like and receive AUD in your account. From there you can withdraw the Australian dollars to your linked bank by PayID or bank transfer, so cashing out stays as simple as buying. Which network carries an ETH withdrawal from Digital Surge? Digital Surge lists and settles ETH on the Ethereum network, so a withdrawal goes to an Ethereum address. ETH is the chain's own native coin rather than a token hosted elsewhere, which means it is one asset moving on its home network. Is ETH an ERC-20 token? No. ETH is Ethereum's own native, base-layer coin, the asset that pays for activity on the network. The ERC-20 standard is the template that many other tokens on Ethereum follow, but ETH itself predates and underpins those tokens rather than being one of them. Where do I find the current ETH price? The live tracker at the top of this page follows the ETH market in AUD as it moves, so you always see the current Australian-dollar figure. For a specific amount, the converter above prices it both ways, using the same rate your order settles at.
