Ethereum

In 2025, Ethereum will shift its strategic focus from Layer 2 (L2) solutions to Layer 1 (L1). EIP-7987 will limit gas for individual transactions, and the L1 zkEVM will actively overhaul the execution layer. In conjunction with ePBS, stateless clients, and the RISC-V virtual machine, Ethereum aims to boost Mainnet performance by one to two orders of magnitude within five years. This will be done while maintaining decentralization and security as core attributes at all levels.

This article provides a retrospective on Ethereum's progress over the past ten years. It traces its journey from the inception of smart contracts, through the evolution of sharding and Rollup-based scaling solutions, to the shift toward Proof of Stake and changes in ecosystem governance. The article delivers a thorough analysis of the technical limitations, value capture challenges, and prospective paths ahead, mapping out a vision for the next decade of the world computer.

The article notes that while the Ethereum ETF initially received a tepid market response at launch, the recent surge in capital inflows signals a marked rise in institutional investors’ confidence in Ethereum.

Over 520,000 ETH are now queued for withdrawal on the Ethereum network. This has prompted market concerns about possible selling pressure.

The article analyzes the evolutionary logic of Ethereum from a smart contract platform to a global decentralized ledger through the sorting of its development path, particularly the impact of the L1 + L2 layered architecture on value capture and ecological prosperity.

The Article Explores the Importance of Privacy Technologies in Blockchain, Analyzes How the Tokenization Market Drives the Integration of Traditional Assets with Blockchain, and Examines How Mobile Applications Are Transforming the User Experience of Cryptocurrencies.

The author argues, with data, case studies, and institutional perspectives, that ETH has strategic advantages in security, liquidity, and global reach, and suggests that institutional accumulation and ETF staking will accelerate the repricing of ETH.

This article reveals the speculative risks and centralization concerns behind the ECF vision through the past entrepreneurial record of Zak Cole, the high expenditures of EF, and market failures.

This article delves into the transformation of Ethereum from a "world computer" to a "world ledger", particularly the far-reaching impact of the launch of EIP-1559 on Ethereum's value capture mechanism.
