# Ethereum (ERC20) | Ethereum (ERC20)

We chose Ethereum (ETH) as the initial foundation for the $YWAI token because of its high transaction speed, low gas fees, and highly active ecosystem. ETH uses a Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism that allows for fast block times (\~3 seconds) and high scalability, ideal for applications with high transaction volumes.
