EIP
- Acronym - Ethereum Improvement Proposal
- A standard format for proposing, discussing, and implementing changes to Ethereum protocols and standards.
- See also: #Ethereum
EIP-1559
- Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559
- An upgrade implemented as part of Ethereum’s London Fork in August 2021. The upgrade introduced a system of block-based fees and sender-specified max fees, replacing the existing gas limit.
- See also: #EIP, #Ethereum, #London Fork
ENS
- Acronym - Ethereum Name Service
- A decentralized domain name system for Ethereum which enables users to register and manage human-readable domain names representing longer and more complex Ethereum hexadecimal addresses.
- See also: #Address, #Ethereum, #Public Address
EOA Transaction
- Transactions between Externally Owned Accounts on the Ethereum network. Not to be confused with Internal Transactions, which involve smart contracts.
- See also: #Ethereum, #Internal Transaction
Epoch
- A standardized unit of time in regard to a blockchain network, used as a frame of reference for miners and validators to have a synchronized understanding of when certain events occur.
- See also: #Block, #Blockchain
ERC
- Acronym - Ethereum Request for Comments
- An application-level standard for Ethereum. These standards address different aspects of the Ethereum ecosystem, but often focus on how tokens are created, transferred, and interacted with on the blockchain.
ERC-1155
- A multi-token Ethereum standard allowing the creation and management of fungible, semi-fungible, and non-fungible tokens by a single smart contract.
ERC-20
- An Ethereum token standard defining the rules and functions specifically for fungible tokens, ERC-20 tokens may be used as cryptocurrency, utility tokens, governance tokens, and other digital assets,
ERC-721
- An Ethereum token standard defining the rules and functions specifically for non-fungible tokens, ERC-721 tokens may be used as collectibles, digital art, virtual real estate, in-game items, or other unique digital assets.
Escrow
- A neutral or trusted third-party intermediary used to mitigate risk by holding funds or assets until certain conditions are met.
- See also: #Escrow Contract
Escrow Contract
- Self-executing blockchain operations that automatically and autonomously enforce transaction terms between parties, eliminating the need for a trusted third-party intermediary.
- See also: #Escrow, #Smart Contract
Ethereum
- A decentralized layer 1 blockchain platform proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and launched in 2018.
- Main Article: Ethereum
Etherscan
- A popular block explorer and analytics tool for the Ethereum blockchain which provides a comprehensive view of the network, and allows users to search and explore addresses, transactions, and other activity.
- See also: #Block Explorer, #Ethereum, #Gas, #Transaction, #Transaction Hash
EVM
- Acronym - Ethereum Virtual Machine
- A Turing complete computation engine and runtime environment powering the Ethereum blockchain.
- See also: #Ethereum, #Node, #Smart Contract
