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.

Risks identified
- 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.
