Vitalik's Ten-Year Journey of Growth with Ethereum From a child prodigy to an idealist, Vitalik Buterin is almost the epitome of the 'chosen one'. Playing with Excel at 4, coding at 8, creating games at 10, discovering Bitcoin at 17, and writing the Ethereum white paper at 19. Today, he has long shed the 'genius' halo and become a low-key yet resolute technical evangelist. The story of Ethereum began with an inspirational collision at a Bitcoin conference. Vitalik developed the vision, Lubin promoted the ecosystem, and Gavin Wood realized the technology. But soon after, the three parted ways due to ideological differences. Vitalik insisted on a non-profit approach, hoping to use technology to break centralized control; Lubin leaned towards commercialization; Wood left due to funding cuts. In the following decade, Ethereum traversed several industry waves: The 2017 ICO frenzy, the summer of DeFi in 2020, the NFT explosion in 2021, the transition to PoS in 2022, and the anticipated spot ETF applications in 2024… Each step profoundly influenced the direction of the entire crypto industry. Today's Ethereum is not just a blockchain project; it is a 'value bridge' linking the real world and the crypto world. It carries countless innovations, applications, and ideas, reshaping the economic logic of the digital age. And Vitalik has never been obsessed with the noise; he has always chosen to cultivate quietly. He embodies the spiritual core of 'there is no self everywhere, yet I exist everywhere'. #以太坊十周年
Among the projects quietly gaining traction in the crypto world, Caldera is gradually revealing its unique potential. As a platform focused on Rollup-as-a-Service, Caldera not only assists project teams in deploying chains but is also reconstructing the entire service logic of Layer2. The ERA token, as its core driving force, is not only a governance credential but also a universal credential across the Rollup ecosystem, effectively breaking down the barriers between user experience, technical efficiency, and value closed-loop. Recently, after launching on multiple exchanges, ERA has rapidly surged. Although the current price fluctuates in the $1.2–1.3 range, its overall market capitalization is nearing $200 million, with a fully diluted market cap approaching $1.4 billion. This is no longer the scale of a small project but a true mid-tier player. The logic behind this rise does not rely on emotional speculation but is based on clear technological product implementation and mechanism design. The market is beginning to realize that this is not a token with just a narrative, but a real product that possesses 'revenue model + depth of construction + multi-chain compatibility.' Is there a 10x space in the future? It depends on whether it can maintain the main line of 'infrastructure standardization.' However, based on the current heat and trading data, the story of ERA has only just begun.

Nike is Overstepped by BNB: BNB Market Value Surpasses $119.1 Billion, Exceeding SoftBank and Nike, Ranking 185th Among Global Assets
Yesterday, BNB hit a historic high of $861, and the moment its market capitalization surpassed Nike's, I glanced at the AJ in my shoe cabinet and suddenly realized: The most expensive 'shoes' in the future don't even need rubber soles — they rely on blockchain friction to generate heat!
Some may ask, why is it worth more than the global shoe king? The core driving force behind BNB reaching a historic high can be summarized as the resonance of three major ecological value engines: 1. Continuous pressure from the deflationary model. Burning mechanism: Binance uses 20% of its quarterly profits to buy back and burn BNB (cumulative burn exceeds 48 million), reducing total supply and enhancing scarcity.
