10 years of Ethereum: From the pre-sale of US$ 18 million to the global network that moves US$ 80 billion.

Exactly a decade ago, Ethereum was born, a blockchain that promised to reinvent the internet. Today, it drives a decentralized economy of US$ 80 billion, hosting everything from memecoins to institutional financial systems. What started as a white paper written by a young cryptographer, Vitalik Buterin, has become the programmable backbone of the digital world.

The story of Ethereum began in 2013, when Vitalik Buterin envisioned a more versatile blockchain than Bitcoin. Alongside names like Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson, and Joseph Lubin, he proposed a “decentralized world computer,” capable of executing smart contracts and hosting applications without intermediaries.
