Ether is a necessary element—a fuel—for operating the distributed application software platform that’s being built: Ethereum. The goal of Ethereum is to decentralize everything using blockchain technology. Ethereum seeks to cut out banks, stock exchanges, and even lawyers and replace them with a blockchain, a decentralized ledger of transactions. Individuals or companies will be able to issue “smart” shares or contracts on Ethereum’s blockchain that give a user pre-programmed rights or capabilities.
Gatecoin’s reputation of reliability, safety and professionalism in addition to its easy-to-use online exchange platform provides users globally with comprehensive asset protection. Users’ fiat deposits are kept in segregated client bank accounts, while their digital currencies are stored on a multisig cold wallet and the system is continuously monitored and audited by an external IT security firm.
