One noteworthy difference between Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric, which admittedly is a little one-sided, is the use of a built-in cryptocurrency. This relates to the mode of operation, consensus algorithm, and rules for distributing incentives set by the network.
Of the two platforms, only Ethereum features a built-in cryptocurrency, called Ether. The main reason for this is that it is a public platform and in order to maintain its scale, decentralization, and usage, it needs to incentivize participants, such as miners, for their work. Moreover, it also requires users to pay transaction fees for the infrastructure of the network. Ether (ETH) is the currency that fuels the Ethereum blockchain, and it can be used to program many different use-cases, such as enabling smart contracts, building decentralized applications (DApps), generating your own digital tokens, and for making standard P2P transactions.
