Ethereum is the dominant general-purpose smart-contract blockchain. Ether (ETH) is its native asset: it pays gas, secures the network via proof-of-stake, and serves as DeFi's primary collateral and unit of account. On CanHav, ETH is a first-class major with a GMX-verified perp market on Arbitrum Sepolia.

Overview
Ethereum is the dominant general-purpose smart-contract blockchain. Ether (ETH) is its native asset: it pays gas, secures the network via proof-of-stake, and serves as DeFi's primary collateral and unit of account. On CanHav, ETH is a first-class major with a GMX-verified perp market on Arbitrum Sepolia.
What makes it different
Largest smart-contract ecosystem by TVL and developer activity; ETH is the base collateral asset most on-chain markets price against.
Components
- Ethereum core product: Ethereum is the dominant general-purpose smart-contract blockchain. Ether (ETH) is its native asset: it pays gas, secures the network via proof-of-stake, and serves as DeFi's primary collateral and unit of account. On CanHav, ETH is a first

Risks
- Market: ETH is a volatile risk asset: drawdowns of 30%+ within weeks have occurred repeatedly. Leveraged exposure (e.g. GMX perps) amplifies both direction of moves and liquidation risk. - Protocol Upgrade: Ethereum ships consequential protocol upgrades (the Merge, Dencun, Pectra). Upgrades are well-rehearsed but introduce transition risk, and staking/MEV dynamics continue to evolve.
