Ethereum officially turned 10 years old — marking a full decade since the launch of the world’s most prominent smart contract platform. Co-founded by Vitalik Buterin in 2015, Ethereum revolutionized blockchain technology by introducing programmable decentralized applications (dApps), enabling developers to build beyond simple peer-to-peer transactions.
Over the past decade, Ethereum has grown from a visionary whitepaper into a thriving ecosystem that powers thousands of applications — from decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFTs to DAOs and gaming. The platform also transitioned from Proof-of-Work to a more energy-efficient Proof-of-Stake model through "The Merge" in 2022, significantly reducing its environmental impact.
Ethereum's 10th anniversary is being celebrated across the crypto community with reflection on its groundbreaking achievements and excitement for what’s to come — including continued scalability through rollups, improvements via Ethereum 2.0, and broader mainstream adoption.
As Ethereum enters its second decade, it remains a cornerstone of Web3 innovation, championing decentralization, transparency, and open development.
