#explain-card In the context of blockchain, a system is Turing-complete if it can perform any computation that a Turing machine can. [[Ethereum]] is Turing-complete, meaning it can execute any computation via [[Smart contract|Smart contracts]], within the limits imposed by the [[Gas]] mechanism. This capability allows developers to create decentralized applications ([[DApp]]) that can perform complex operations, making Ethereum a versatile platform for innovation in the blockchain space.
