Ethereum celebrated its 10th anniversary in late July 2025, marking a decade since its inception as a blockchain platform. Widely recognized for its evolution from a scrappy experiment to a critical infrastructure component, Ethereum has become known as the "invisible backbone" and "plumbing" of Wall Street. The platform supports a large user base, with millions of users onboarded and substantial daily activity, including over 2 million daily AI interactions and 1.4 million on-chain swaps facilitated by agents. In conjunction with its anniversary, Ethereum's ecosystem has seen technological advancements such as the launch of EigenLayer V2 on the mainnet, delivering a data availability layer with throughput exceeding 100 MB/s—approximately 12.8 times the capacity of Visa. This upgrade is designed to support verifiable applications, artificial intelligence, and the decentralized internet, reflecting Ethereum's ongoing role in driving innovation within the blockchain and financial sectors.
