JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Chair Paul Atkins says Wall Street & Silicon Valley companies are "lined up at our doors with requests to tokenize."

@VitalikButerin @LianaHusikyan Some other pics from that day. Here we have @gavofyork and @ChrJentzsch checking something on a laptop.

Ten years ago, Ethereum wasn't a great asset, network, or even team. Vitalik was young, and many leeches exploited his enthusiasm for their own agenda. Ten years ago, 90% of the popular smart contracts were literal Ponzi pyramids because the use case was to prove they were "fair"ponzi (I still have 50 ETH in one) Most "co-founders" were a net negative. IMHO, the true beginning of the ETH era started after the DAO hack and subsequent ETC fork in the summer of 2016. This major crisis removed the innocence, cleaned the ecosystem, and enabled a whole new generation to build Ethereum as it is today.

Launch day, 10 years ago. This team (and some others not in the pic) built Ethereum. The photo was taken on July 30th 2015 in Kreuzberg, Berlin. Ethereum was launched, never to be stopped again. A trust machine, a decentralized ledger, a transactional singleton machine with shared-state, a platform for decentralized applications, a blockchain. I will be forever grateful for this special time, building Ethereum. Looking back, it has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams, but is still at the beginning of becoming the backbone of society.

🚨Frontiers by @paradigm x @AnthropicAI! 🚨 We have been strong advocates of using AI tools in our day-to-day development over the last few months. @tobias_h_noonan will present "Mastering Claude Code" ahead of our intense hackathon, which will run through the rest of the day! We will have free credits available for everyone to supercharge their development. See you all next week in San Francisco!

0/ 11 years ago, the Ethereum Whitepaper outlined the vision, purpose, and technical design of Ethereum.

Daily transactions on Ethereum is approaching ATH for first time since 2021. Gas is 5-6 gwei today, compared to >300 gwei back then Congrats all - we scaled the chain!

For the record, it's onchain. Not on-chain or on chain.
