Ethereum Wallet Tracker & Dashboard
Ethereum wallets, trending pools and network health on one board. Paste a 0x address and Cashboard reads it through Blockscout, without asking for a signature.
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is the smart contract layer 1 that Base, Arbitrum and most other rollups settle to. It switched from mining to proof of stake in the Merge on September 15, 2022, and no single company ships it: Geth, Nethermind, Besu and Reth come from separate client teams. Most of the money still sits in DeFi, stablecoins and staked ETH.
Gas is paid in ETH. Since the London upgrade in August 2021 every transaction burns a base fee that moves with demand, plus an optional tip for the block proposer. A plain transfer uses 21,000 gas, so what you pay in dollars depends on the gwei price at that moment and on ETH itself.
A new slot comes every 12 seconds and 32 slots make an epoch. A block is finalized after two epochs, roughly 13 minutes, and that is the point rollups and bridges treat as final. Validators stake ETH to take part. The Pectra upgrade in May 2025 raised the maximum effective balance per validator from 32 to 2,048 ETH.
What trades here is mostly size: blue-chip DeFi, stablecoin mints and redemptions, liquid staking tokens and ETH itself. Small-ticket token trading moved to layer 2s once blobs arrived in March 2024, and Fusaka widened blob space again in December 2025.

What do traders watch on Ethereum?
- Gas in gwei. The base fee can rise by at most 12.5% per block, so a real spike builds over a minute or two, and tips are where the panic shows first.
- The validator entry and exit queues. A long exit queue usually means stakers want out, and liquid staking tokens can trade below ETH while it lasts.
- Stablecoin supply and the capital sitting on layer 2s. The Market flows widget in Cashboard reads supply from DefiLlama and layer 2 value secured from L2BEAT. Bridge volume is not shown, because DefiLlama serves it only on a paid plan.
Which Cashboard widgets are built for Ethereum?
Two, and a desk template that holds both. The Ethereum pulse reads gas tiers, the next base fee and blob fees from public RPC every 15 seconds, and adds the burn, supply growth and staking APR from ultrasound.money and Lido. The L2 scoreboard ranks Ethereum's layer 2s, plus the Polygon PoS sidechain, by transactions, active addresses, fees or median cost from growthepie data under CC BY 4.0, with L2BEAT stages and value secured. Ethereum Desk adds ETH, LDO, ENA and UNI prices, a 30-day ETH chart, DEX volume and stablecoin risk.

Which apps run on Ethereum?
On Ethereum you will find Uniswap, Aave, Lido, Curve, Morpho and ENS. In Cashboard Desktop any of them can sit on the board as a web app, logged in separately from your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ethereum still proof of work?
No. Ethereum moved to proof of stake in the Merge on September 15, 2022, and ETH can no longer be mined. Validators who stake ETH now propose and attest to blocks.
How long does an Ethereum transaction take to finalize?
About 13 minutes for full finality. A transaction is usually included within one or two 12-second slots, but a block only counts as finalized after two epochs of 32 slots. Wallets show it as confirmed long before that.
What is the Ethereum chain ID?
1, or 0x1 in the hex form some wallets and explorers print. Gas on Ethereum is paid in ETH.
How do I watch Ethereum wallets without connecting them?
Add a Portfolio widget, set it to watch-only, pick Ethereum and paste the public address. Balances come from a Blockscout indexer. Nothing is signed, and share links drop the address.
