Celebrating 10 years of Ethereum! Since its genesis block in 2015, Ethereum has demonstrated non-stop uptime, proving itself as the definition of antifragile. It has continually evolved to serve as a reliable trust layer for our fast-growing digital world.

Ethereum now stands as the premier infrastructure for decentralized, verifiable, programmable trust. It already settles trillions of dollars of value annually. This new kind of software, "Trustware," enables transactions, processes and agreements to be guaranteed to execute, verifiably correct, incorruptible, transparent, and accessible to all, with rules enforced by math and code.

The Ethereum ecosystem has shown immense resilience, operating without downtime for a decade, absorbing shocks (including sustained attacks from powerful nation states), and evolving through incredible technical upgrades like the Merge. It anchors the largest open financial ecosystem in the world, with growing participation from traditional institutions and users.

Major traditional economy names like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Visa are building their next-generation offerings on Ethereum. The uptake of ETH as a treasury asset and broad embrace of stablecoins indicate that adoption is moving well beyond experimentation and into integration, as TradFi onboards to DeFi. More ETH locked in staking enhances the network's economic security.

Ethereum offers a borderless, transparent, and decentralized financial architecture, opening up entirely new avenues of growth and innovation and enabling far greater economic and political agency for people and communities. Beyond finance, Ethereum will serve as critical infrastructure for the next wave of innovation across networks of decentralized social graphs, stablecoins, decentralized identity systems, decentralized physical infrastructure, data marketplaces and autonomous AI agents.

I have never felt so energized and optimistic about the future of Ethereum. We are about to land the most profound paradigm shift in recorded history: the societal transition to decentralized trust. Ethereum is no longer an experiment; it is the new foundation for digital trust. We are just getting started.
