Ethereum has experienced a significant 500% growth from 2015 to 2020, drawing considerable attention from investors globally, including in India. The blockchain and decentralized finance sectors are evolving rapidly, with Ethereum emerging as a key player. Ethereum's roadmap aims to build the world's most decentralized computing network, emphasizing permissionless, censorship-resistant, and neutral operations. The platform is seen as a decentralized, censorship-resistant, and credibly-neutral foundation powering the on-chain financial system. Analysts at ARK Invest, including @LorenzoARK, believe Ethereum is poised to transform the financial services industry by establishing an endogenous benchmark in decentralized finance through its staking yield. To achieve this, improvements such as decreasing slot times and enhancing layer 1 are necessary.
