ETHEREUM TURNS 10: STILL STANDING, STILL BUILDING

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

As Ethereum celebrates its 10th anniversary, community members reflect on a decade of improbable success, resilience, and reinvention. From Vitalik Buterin's 2013 whitepaper to a $450 billion network powering global finance and commerce, Ethereum has evolved through hacks, hard forks, regulatory attacks, and scaling crises, without betraying its core values. Kraken's Joseph Delong calls its uptime and adaptability “unimaginable victories,” while Consensys' Bill Hughes notes Ethereum could never launch under today's conditions. With institutions like Sharplink Gaming joining the ecosystem, the next decade's challenge is maintaining cypherpunk ideals amid growing mainstream adoption.
