Ethereum at 10: A Decade of Decentralized Innovation
Since its launch in 2015, Ethereum has grown from a bold idea into one of the world’s most influential blockchain platforms. Powering everything from NFTs to decentralized finance (DeFi), Ethereum has processed trillions in value and supports thousands of applications globally. Its open-source nature and vibrant developer community have made it the backbone of Web3 — evolving constantly while staying true to its goal of a decentralized internet.
What’s Next: Lean Ethereum
Looking ahead, Ethereum researchers have unveiled a bold new vision called “Lean Ethereum.” This next-gen evolution focuses on being ultra-scalable, secure, and efficient. Lean Ethereum aims to support millions of transactions per second, resist even quantum attacks, and remain fully decentralized. By simplifying core components and upgrading to new technologies, Ethereum is preparing to become faster, leaner, and more resilient for the future.
