$ETH is still the king of smart contracts, and despite new competition, Ethereum continues to dominate when it comes to total value locked and developer activity. I’ve been following ETH since its early days and I’m impressed by how it has evolved—from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, and now gearing up for sharding. Gas fees can still be high, but L2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism are easing that pain. I’m currently staking ETH and earning yield while supporting network security. I believe Ethereum will remain the backbone of Web3 and DeFi for the foreseeable future. Long ETH!
