#EthereumTurns10

🎉 Happy 10th Birthday, Ethereum! 🎉

Today, July 30, 2025, marks a monumental decade since the Ethereum genesis block was mined, unleashing a wave of innovation that reshaped the digital world. 🚀

From its humble beginnings as a visionary whitepaper to becoming the backbone of decentralized finance (DeFi) 💰 and the NFT revolution 🎨, Ethereum's journey has been nothing short of transformative.

Over the past ten years, we've witnessed groundbreaking milestones: the infamous DAO hack and subsequent hard fork, the explosive growth of dApps, the monumental "Merge" transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) for sustainability 🌳, and the recent approval of spot ETH ETFs in the U.S. 📈.

These ETFs, in particular, have propelled ETH into the institutional spotlight, drawing billions in new capital.

Ethereum hasn't just survived; it has thrived, continuously evolving through upgrades like Dencun and the upcoming Pectra, enhancing scalability and efficiency.

Its vibrant developer community continues to build the future of Web3, proving that programmable money and a world computer are more than just concepts – they're a reality. Here's to another decade of groundbreaking innovation! ✨
