Ethereum in 2025: What to Expect

✅ 1. Scaling with Rollups & Danksharding

• Ethereum is expected to handle thousands of transactions per second by 2025 through:

• Layer 2 rollups (like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base)

• The upcoming danksharding upgrade

• These improvements aim to reduce gas fees and make Ethereum more scalable for mass adoption.

⸻

🔐 2. Strong Position in DeFi & NFTs

• Ethereum still dominates in:

• DeFi protocols (Uniswap, Aave, etc.)

• NFT platforms (OpenSea, Blur)

• Ethereum is likely to maintain its leadership, but will face pressure from Solana, Avalanche, and others.

⸻

🗳️ 3. Decentralized Governance (Proto-Danksharding, The Purge)

• Continued upgrades through the Ethereum roadmap (The Surge, Scourge, Verge, Purge, Splurge).

• ETH holders may play more active roles in on-chain governance.

🌱 4. Sustainable & Eco-Friendly

• Since moving to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) in 2022 (The Merge), Ethereum reduced energy use by ~99.95%.

• This green profile boosts its institutional and ESG appeal.
