The recent words from Ethereum's founder have caused a storm in the community—"Ethereum will surprise everyone." This is not an empty statement. As transaction speeds rival lightning, fees approach zero, and global applications run seamlessly, these once-dreamed visions are gradually becoming reality on Ethereum.

Let's see what has already happened:

After the merge, energy consumption has decreased by 99.95%, and green blockchain is no longer just a slogan. Layer2 solutions have increased transaction throughput by hundreds of times, and the sky-high gas fees are finally no longer a barrier for users. The staking ecosystem operates stably, with a yield maintained above 3.5%, and the total value locked in the ecosystem has surpassed 100 billion. Developer community activity has increased by 40% year-over-year, and the wave of innovation is unstoppable.

Kohaku upgrade brings a leap in security level to 128 bits, with both privacy protection and defense systems upgraded. zk-Rollups, sharding technology, account abstraction... multiple technical routes are advancing simultaneously.

This is no longer just an asset. Ethereum is evolving into: the clearing hub of open finance, the core engine of decentralized applications, and the ultimate fortress of digital assets. Every technological iteration breaks previous limitations, and every optimization redefines the boundaries of possibility. While the entire industry is still discussing the prospects of Web3, Ethereum is already laying the tracks for the next-generation internet.
