Watch the replay of the '10 Years of Ethereum Livestream'.

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.

TL;DR: Ethereum's roadmap is making the impossible inevitable 🗺️

It was this day 10 years ago, 30th of July 2015, that we changed the world forever. We were a small team of hackers in an office in Kreuzberg in Berlin and we had just launched the @ethereum network. The rest is history. Looking back at the last 10 years, I am excited about the next 10 years, the next 25, the next 100. What will the next generation do with our creation? What will you build on Ethereum?

Happy 10th birthday @ethereum. Here’s a pic from 1 year before @ethereum was born, from a Silicon Valley Ethereum meetup in July 2014 - featuring @VitalikButerin in a @Bitcoin shirt. Been all in since the beginning, and have no plans to leave anytime soon. $ETH

Happy 10th birthday Ethereum! Thank you for changing my life and so many others. I'm grateful the community is filled with such kind and brilliant people

Happy birthday, Ethereum. On to the next decade.

Hier, Ethereum a fêté ses 10 ans. Aujourd'hui, Ethereum lean est dévoilé comme une vision—et une mission personnelle—pour les 10 prochaines années. Nous sommes à l'aube d'une nouvelle ère. Des millions de TPS. Des adversaires quantiques. Comment Ethereum marie-t-il une performance extrême avec une sécurité et une décentralisation sans compromis ? TLDR : la cryptographie de nouvelle génération est centrale pour gagner à la fois en attaque et en défense. Avertissement : Ceci est une prise de position de Drake™ destinée à un large public. Une plongée technique dans les signatures post-quantiques basées sur le hachage et les SNARKs suivra. Une diversité saine de points de vue à travers le Protocole, l'EF et la communauté Ethereum au sens large est attendue et bienvenue. Cela nous renforce. défense—mode fort Ethereum est spécial. 100 % de disponibilité depuis la genèse. Une diversité de clients inégalée. 130 milliards de dollars en sécurité économique (35,7 millions d'ETH stakés × 3,7K $)—peut-être bientôt 1 trillion de dollars. Ethereum est prêt à devenir le socle de l'internet de la valeur, sécurisant des centaines de trillions sur des décennies, voire des siècles. Ethereum doit survivre à tout : États-nations, ordinateurs quantiques. Quoi qu'il arrive. Appelez cela le mode fort. Si l'internet est en ligne, Ethereum est en ligne. Si le monde est connecté, le monde est sur la chaîne. attaque—mode bête Ethereum a faim. "Échelle L1, échelle blobs" est une urgence stratégique au sein du cluster Protocole de l'EF. Attendez-vous à des gains de performance faciles au cours des 6 à 12 prochains mois. À plus long terme ? Pensez gigagas L1, teragas L2. Appelez cela le mode bête. → 1 gigagas/sec sur L1 : 10K TPS, échelle verticale ambitieuse → 1 teragas/sec sur L2 : 1M TPS, échelle horizontale tentaculaire Échelle contre décentralisation ? Pourquoi pas les deux. Les mathématiques lunaires dont nous avons besoin sont maintenant apprivoisées : → zkVMs en temps réel pour une exécution lean → échantillonnage de disponibilité des données (DAS) pour des données lean Une délicieuse cerise sur le gâteau : vérification complète de la chaîne sur chaque navigateur, portefeuille, téléphone. mises à jour lean Lean Ethereum propose des mises à jour audacieuses à travers les trois sous-couches L1 : → le consensus lean est la chaîne de balises 2.0 : durcie pour une sécurité et une décentralisation ultimes, plus une finalité en quelques secondes ; anciennement appelée "chaîne de faisceau" → les données lean sont les blobs 2.0 : blobs post-quantiques, plus un dimensionnement granulaire des blobs pour une expérience développeur semblable à celle des calldata → l'exécution lean est l'EVM 2.0 : un ensemble d'instructions minimal, compatible avec les SNARK (possiblement RISC-V ; prononcé "risque cinq"), boostant la performance tout en préservant la compatibilité EVM et ses effets de réseau La couche de consensus (CL), la couche de données (DL), la couche d'exécution (EL) ont chacune été réimaginées à partir des premiers principes. Ensemble, elles débloquent le mode fort et le mode bête. L'objectif : une abondance de performance sous la contrainte d'une continuité non négociable, d'une dureté maximale et d'une simplicité rafraîchissante. cryptographie lean La cryptographie basée sur le hachage émerge comme le fondement idéal pour Ethereum lean. Elle offre une réponse unifiée convaincante à deux mégatendances qui redéfinissent l'écosystème : → l'essor explosif des SNARKs → la menace quantique imminente Imaginez la brique cryptographique la plus lean—la fonction de hachage—alimentant à elle seule L1 : → CL : les signatures agrégées basées sur le hachage améliorent les signatures BLS → DL : les engagements DAS basés sur le hachage améliorent les engagements KZG → EL : les zkVMs en temps réel basées sur le hachage améliorent la réexécution de l'EVM Un bijou cryptographique dans chacune des CL lean, DL lean, EL lean. artisanat lean Lean Ethereum est plus qu'un plan pour durcir et faire évoluer Ethereum. Plus qu'un simple renforcement de la sécurité, de la décentralisation et de la cryptographie de pointe. C'est une esthétique. Une forme d'art. Un artisanat. Pensez à Jiro dans Les rêves de sushi. Quand nous pouvons faire un effort supplémentaire, nous le faisons. Minimalisme. Modularité. Complexité encapsulée. Vérification formelle. Sécurité prouvable. Optimalité prouvable. Ce sont des considérations techniques subtiles mais importantes. Restez à l'écoute pour le post sur la cryptographie post-quantique qui les rendra explicites. héritage lean Après 10 années fantastiques, lean Ethereum est un serment générationnel. Pour garder Ethereum en ligne quoi qu'il arrive. Pour le faire évoluer sans compromis. Pour le rendre digne de ceux qui viendront après. Il s'agit d'héritage. Nous sommes des bâtisseurs, nous sommes des missionnaires. Nous sommes Ethereum. J'espère que vous nous rejoindrez.

Launch day, 10 years ago. This team (and some others not in the pic) built Ethereum. The photo was taken on July 30th 2015 in Kreuzberg, Berlin. Ethereum was launched, never to be stopped again. A trust machine, a decentralized ledger, a transactional singleton machine with shared-state, a platform for decentralized applications, a blockchain. I will be forever grateful for this special time, building Ethereum. Looking back, it has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams, but is still at the beginning of becoming the backbone of society.

Today, Ethereum celebrates its tenth anniversary. A decade of innovation, decentralization, and trust. Relive the major milestones that have shaped Ethereum’s 10-year journey. 🧵👇

🎂 Ethereum turns 10: A decade ago, it launched with a bold idea: general-purpose smart contracts on a credibly neutral, permissionless base layer. Since then, it has become the settlement layer for stablecoins, DeFi, tokenized assets, and more. Here’s what it’s built—and what’s next: 2015–2025: Key Achievements: • EVM & Solidity (2015): Programmable contracts, ERC-20, the ICO era • Byzantium (2017): First major step towards PoS roadmap • EIP-1559 (2021): Fee burn + deflation • The Merge (2022): Proof-of-Stake, -99.99% energy use • Shanghai (2023): Staking withdrawals, validator maturity • Pectra (2025): Numerous improvements, L2 scalability Scaling the Ethereum Economy: • Dencun + EIP-4844 (2024): Proto-danksharding. Rollup data costs down 10–30×+. • Rollups surpass L1 in volume (2025): The rollup-centric roadmap realized • EigenLayer (2024): ETH restaking extends security to oracles, bridges, and more • ETH ecosystem TPS grew from ~50 at the start of 2024 to over 200 today.  Real-World Assets Come On-Chain: • Ethereum’s RWA value has grown from ~$1B at the start of 2023 to almost $10B today. • BlackRock BUIDL: $2.9B tokenized MMF on Ethereum • JPM Onyx, Goldman, Fidelity: Tokenizing deposits, MMFs, and bonds on EVM rails Stablecoins are Ethereum’s killer app: • $150B+ in total supply • ~60% of all stablecoins reside on Ethereum and its L2s Ethereum is the backbone for tokenized dollars.  What’s Still to Come: • Full Danksharding: Sub-cent rollup costs at scale • Single-Slot Finality (SSF): Finality in ~12s • Enshrined Account Abstraction: Smart wallets, passkeys, session keys • Statelessness: Light clients on mobile • zkPrivacy: Selective disclosure • Post-quantum signatures: Long-term resilience Onboarding the World: • Ethereum is building for global scale • Cheap L2s + shared sequencers → 100k TPS • BlackRock, JPM, and PayPal choose Ethereum for real-world finance • EIP-4337 + attestations → self-custodied compliance • Stateless clients → inclusion for the 1.4B unbanked Ethereum is not a finished product. It's a continuously evolving ecosystem. From credible neutrality to programmable finance, from NFTs to sovereign rollups—Ethereum is slowly becoming the settlement layer of civilization. The next 10 years will bring: • Sub-second, sub-cent transactions • Tokenized markets on public rails • Embedded compliance via smart wallets • Shared security as infrastructure • Billions of users self-custodying assets on phones Etherealize is honored to be part of Ethereum’s journey. We’ll spend the next decade helping institutions, nations, and everyday users enter the Ethereum economy—from Wall Street to the unbanked. ETH is the settlement layer of the digital era. Onward.

Ten years of Ethereum. It’s more than code, it’s a global movement of builders, researchers, and creators shaping what comes next. We asked our team: What does Ethereum means to you? Here’s what they said: (1/4)

0/ Ethereum turns 10 today! 🎉 There’s so much to celebrate—but for me, it’s about the becoming of something improbable. When it was born, I still remember a dev at my old job shrugging it off: “just another s***coin.” Back then, it felt like a wild dream—and yes, it hit some big bumps early on. 10 years later? Safe to say he was very wrong.

10 years ago, @ethereum was just an idea. Today, the ecosystem sets out to bring Ethereum to billions across the globe. I’m grateful for how it has brightened my life over the past 8 colorful years. With your involvement, the next decade will be even more inspiring 💚

Cheers to 10 years of Ethereum with 100% uptime! The last decade has been incredibly exciting with many interesting challenges. It's such a privilege to call myself an Ethereum core developer and I can't imagine working on other protocol.

Happy 10th birthday @ethereum Here’s pics from 10 years ago. Been all in since the beginning and have no plans to leave anytime soon. $ETH

Today is the 10th anniversary of Ethereum. I first heard about @VitalikButerin in 2014 from @naval on a walk. This "really smart russian kid building a world computer" if I'm remembering correctly. Sadly, I wasn't smart enough to invest in the ICO. But I did get to back Coinbase, whose growth was largely enabled then by EVMs and now again with @base and @USDC. Ethereum inspired us to incubate or seed many great teams like @zora @bitski @dydx @goldfinch_fi in the ecosystem. Going deeper, I came to co-author an ERC standard, EIP-6551, with @bennygiang, and continue the exploration. Ethereum has enabled so many new product areas and behaviors: stablecoins, DeFi, NFTs, asset tokenization, etc and inspired even many new smart contract platforms. A few years ago, @ljixie and @OptimistFilms asked me to be Executive Producer of a documentary about Vitalik and the Ethereum community. I jumped at the chance and it's been awesome to see the film tell the story about Vitalik's vision for a more fair and decentralized Internet to the mainstream audience. If you're curious about the beginnings of Ethereum, the film is available on most of the streaming platforms like AppleTV, Amazon, etc. Happy 10th @ethereum!

🔔 Ethereum crowd ringing the closing bell at the Nasdaq for the chain’s 10th birthday! The past 10 years have been about getting tradfi to use Ethereum rails and buy ETH, so this Nasdaq celebration is a great way to symbolize that. The next 10 years will be about replacing those rails so that there actually is no closing bell. Happy birthday Ethereum, it’s a privilege to cover the story of how you are remaking finance.

joyeux anniversaire Ethereum 🎉 cela a été un plaisir de suivre votre évolution au cours des sept dernières années de ma carrière !

In honor of Ethereum's 10-year anniversary, I'm highlighting 29 Ethereum-related institutional research reports, carefully curated by the Ethereum Market Research Center @ethereum_mrc Thanks to all those covering ETH @ethereum @artemis Brownstone Research @Obol_Collective From

Ethereum. 10 years. 0 downtime. Now we go stress test the system.

Ethereum is turning 10. Some will use this moment to look back. But I want to invite us to look forward. To the next 10+ years.

10 years ago, The World Computer was turned ON.

10 ans heureux Ethereum =) Les 10 prochains feront apparaître de nouvelles dynamiques - l’économie politique devra encore mûrir - Le plateau de jeu est plus grand + multidimensionnel - les joueurs seront plus sophistiqués Toujours des humains, des ressources partagées et des communs au centre Il reste encore beaucoup à faire, à faire évoluer et à interagir

Ethereum fête ses 10 ans ! 🎂 Nous vous invitons à regarder en arrière et à célébrer ce que nous avons tous accompli ensemble. Aujourd’hui est un jour incroyable pour s’engager dans un avenir encore plus audacieux. 50+ constructeurs, chercheurs et OG partagent leurs espoirs et leurs rêves pour Ethereum. Dites-nous le vôtre 👇

Today, we celebrate 10 years of Ethereum! With a market capitalization of over $450 billion, Ethereum is very well positioned to serve institutions, and its 10th birthday is a major unlock as blockchain institutionalization goes mainstream.  Here’s why: History: 10 years of history is a very meaningful milestone for traditional institutions. In traditional finance, regulator-approved risk models often require 10 years of historical data. Ethereum now has 10 years of history without outages, and $ETH has 10 years of historical pricing data.  No exceptions needed; it just fits. Modularity: The modularity offered through Ethereum and its layer-2 roadmap offers customization and controls that many institutions will demand. Institutions can customize and optimize infrastructure for specific applications or use cases--while still benefitting from the security of Ethereum’s ~1mm validators. Yield: The Ethereum ecosystem offers an organic and compelling real yield (e.g. CESR: that can power next generation fixed income products and services. In time, its yield and yield curve could power trillions in financial products. Digital Asset Treasury (DATs) companies are embracing this yield to grow their mNAVs. This is the frontier of convergence. So, happy birthday Ethereum!🎂

Happy 10 years of Coding. Happy 10 years of Community building. Happy 10 Years of the Ethereum Ecosystem 🎂

Ethereum gave me the wonderful life I have today. I met my wife @lisacuesta at a book signing that wouldn’t have been written if Ethereum didn’t exist. My first full-time crypto job was at @Consensys as Joe bled out money to hire the best talent and support the Ethereum ecosystem. I joined Bison Trails because I was one of the lead organizers for @EthereumDenver that year and someone I met connected me to the CEO. There are so many stories, but today I’ll tell my favorite one: how I built my first and last Ethereum miner. My high school friend and now teammate at Coinbase @0xb17z was already into crypto and was instrumental in helping me learn. I wasn’t technical and really wanted to build an Ethereum miner from scratch to really understand how the pieces fit together. In 2017/18 EVERYONE and their mothers were trying to do the same so GPUs were almost impossible to come by. We ended up scrounging up 6 Nvidia GTX 1070’s together over months as we waited for restocking and needed friends to go buy in our stead because they only let people buy one per month. At one point we had everything hooked up, but the damn thing just wouldn’t connect to the wifi. We tried for weeks to get it to work; updated all the drivers, chased down every potential issue, and checked every last hardware installation guide. As we were about to give up, I checked the motherboard website to see its spec. THE DAMN THING DIDN’T HAVE WIFI. We connected an Ethernet cable and it worked immediately. As I quickly learned, these things are HOT and LOUD. I was living with my mom at the time while working at EY and as soon as I moved out she turned it off, shoved it in the closet, and there it sat for over a year until we sold it for parts. In total I spent $5k+ to mine like 1.2 ETH so as soon as ETH hits $5k I’ll finally break even. For the photos: 1. We didn’t know how much wattage my room could handle and if it could support the 6 GPUs. We also didn’t have the expensive tool to measure it. So another friend and I went to Costco, bought a bunch of irons, and turned them on one at a time to see when the fuse would blow. Thankfully Costco is generous with their return policy. 2. The motherboard in question. 3. Ben helped sell all the parts, but held on to one of the GPUs for me. He might have just been lazy, but I choose to believe he did it intentionally kek. It’s the first thing I’ve ever framed and it hangs in my office as a reminder of how I got my start and what I’m doing here. It says "Keeping Ethereum decentralized since 2017" - words I still live by today. When I joined crypto in 2017 I felt so very late. I imagine it’s how many people are feeling today. But now 8 years later I look back and realize I’ve been around for 80% of Ethereum’s life. I hope the newcomers to the industry realize that Ethereum is just getting started and as amazing as it is to celebrate its 10 year anniversary, I hope they look ahead and realize that there are many decades, and even centuries, to go. We’re all still very, very early and there’s a lot of work to be done to bring the world onchain.
