🎉 Today marks 10 incredible years of Ethereum! 🚀

From its genesis block on July 30, 2015, Ethereum has evolved far beyond a mere cryptocurrency. It’s a global movement—unlocking smart contracts, pioneering DeFi, powering NFTs, and building the foundation of Web3.

I’ve been following this journey closely—watching upgrades like The Merge, Layer 2 scaling, and community innovation in real time. Ethereum didn’t just transform technology; it transformed what’s possible.

The Ethereum Foundation is celebrating this milestone with a global livestream on July 30 at 14:30 UTC, featuring co-founders like Vitalik Buterin and Joe Lubin, along with core developers and researchers who’ve shaped the protocol.

One of the most exciting parts? The symbolic “Ethereum Torch” NFT—passed wallet to wallet leading up to the event and then burned at the exact Genesis timestamp (3:26:13 PM UTC). A free commemorative NFT is available to mint for 24 hours following the stream.

Ethereum also boasts a perfect record—ten years of 100% uptime without a single missed block. Even through massive upgrades like the Merge, the schema never paused.

Surrounding the virtual event are community celebrations happening across more than 30 cities—including Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Dubai, New York and cities across Africa—supported by microgrants from the Foundation.
