Let's talk about the second concubine today
1. Value Capture Ability
- ETH may become the 'internet bond', with its staking yield (currently about 3-5%) and deflationary mechanism (EIP-1559 burning) potentially driving it to become an anti-inflation asset.
2. Web3 Infrastructure
- Ethereum is expected to become the underlying operating system for decentralized applications (DApp), DAO governance, and the digital economy, covering various fields such as finance, gaming, and social interaction.
3. Expansion of Social Influence
- Through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and privacy protection technologies, Ethereum may find applications in government and enterprise scenarios (such as digital identity and supply chain).
Ethereum is evolving from a 'world computer' to a 'global settlement layer', and its technological iteration and ecological expansion are still in the early stages. Despite facing challenges in scaling, regulation, and competition, the activity of its developer community, first-mover advantage, and modular design philosophy lay the foundation for its long-term competitiveness. In the next 5-10 years, Ethereum may become the core infrastructure of the Web3 economic system, but it needs to continuously balance innovation with decentralization principles.
