10 years ago, @ethereum was just an idea. Today, the ecosystem sets out to bring Ethereum to billions across the globe. I’m grateful for how it has brightened my life over the past 8 colorful years. With your involvement, the next decade will be even more inspiring 💚

In 10 years time, Ethereum will become the global computer seamlessly embedded in daily life. Used by billions, invisible in the stack, and still decentralized at its core.

Ethereum is an organic network, ecosystem, and community. There’s no one setting that works for everything.

In order to achieve this vision, we must strike a balance while evolving: Innovation speed vs. Network stability Scalability vs. Throughput Inclusivity vs. Efficiency Privacy features vs. Lower cost txs Ethereum's success hinges on adjusting these levers carefully.

As we grow, the ecosystem must maintain its commitment to where it started: decentralized & robust network, permissionless applications, & global open-source contribution. Winning will not rely on any single entity. Resilience is created by the growth of the whole community.

And that’s already happening. Ethereum is making a real impact on the ground in places like Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. It has catalyzed new models for funding public goods, impacting how communities fund and build shared resources.

Ethereum unlocks infinite innovation and possibilities. The next decade is about multiplying what we've built without losing what made the first ten years matter. That’s somETHing to celebrate 💚 Happy birthday!
