eth is no longer just a platform for issuing tokens; it resembles a self-evolving organism that explores its way forward with each upgrade and fork. It carries the dreams of countless projects and bears the weight of numerous doubts and defections. Gas, layer2, staking rewards—these terms stack up to form a complex and vast world. You can say it’s slow, you can say it’s expensive, but you also have to admit that without ETH, there would be no multi-layered crypto ecosystem we have today. It is not perfect, but it is real enough to make people willing to place their trust and stakes on the chain time and again.
