ETH’s future in 2025 and beyond centres on its role as the leading platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Its 2022 proof-of-stake upgrade, cutting energy use by 99%, sets the stage for scalability improvements. Expect deeper integration with DeFi, growth in token creation, and innovations like restacking protocols (e.g., EigenLayer). Ethereum’s active developer community and open-source nature will drive adoption, though challenges like volatility and network congestion remain. Its ecosystem is poised to dominate Web3 and decentralized tech for decades.
