Ethereum

“	"You can buy items by using Ethereum (ETH), which is one of the currencies of the server. You can get Ethereum (ETH) by voting, as each vote will give you one ETH."	”

Ethereum, also known as ETH and Eth, was the main currency of Halfast. 
First introduced on 9E:18, ethereum became the primary medium of exchange at the Midgard Markets and Novigrad Market. It was obtained via voting at a maximum rate of 8 per day, though Bloodmoon monsters had a chance to drop ethereum in increments of 1, 2, or 3 upon their death. 
Ethereum existed in six different denominations, which could be obtained from the ETH Exchange or from Plutus at Midgard Bank and Novigrad Bank. Ethereum Tokens were granted to individuals for each vote they made prior to the introduction of ethereum and could be exchanged for real Eth at a 1:1 conversion rate. The higher denominations were effectively out of reach even for factions, making them largely cosmetic and impractical.
The community often traded ethereum amongst each other and it was not uncommon to see sets of armor and elytra purchased with ETH. When Extra Claimblocks Scrolls were introduced at the markets, ethereum became even more valuable.

Ethereum is based on the real-life Ethereum cryptocurrency, though technically that name refers to the decentralized blockchain platform while the currency itself is known as Ether or ETH.
