Supply release: when does the rest arrive?
No maximum supplyThere is no release date — ETH has no maximum supply.
New ETH is issued indefinitely under the network's own rules, so there is no point at which issuance finishes and no final total to count down to. Long-run scarcity depends on the issuance rate — and on any burning that offsets it — rather than on a hard cap.

About Ethereum
Ethereum, launched in 2015, introduced smart contracts — programs that run on the blockchain itself — and became the foundation for most of crypto's applications, from stablecoins to DeFi and NFTs. Its coin, ether, pays for computation on the network and can be staked to help secure it.
Created by Vitalik Buterin, with seven co-founders including Gavin Wood and Charles Hoskinson (2015).
