Ethereum co-founder shares vision for Blockchain development
At a recent global Blockchain summit, the co-founder of Ethereum reviewed the development history of the project and looked forward to the future. He stated that the Ethereum project began in November 2013, the foundation was established in 2014, and the mainnet was launched in July 2015.
Over the past decade, Ethereum's main goal has been to improve its technology. From 2015 to 2017, and now, the core focus has remained largely consistent, including scalability, privacy, and zero-knowledge proof technology. Although the direction has not changed, significant progress has indeed been made during these ten years.
The progress is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First, there has been a significant decrease in transaction fees. From hundreds of dollars in 2020 to 2021, to now around $0.01 thanks to Layer 2 solutions. This change opens up more application scenarios.

By transforming data into legally valid assets through a full-process operating system, it supports the deployment and development of AI systems.

a16z's Crypto Assets report shows market optimism, but caution is advised. In emerging countries, Crypto Assets are gradually gaining popularity, stablecoins have become an important application, Decentralized Finance is experiencing weak growth, and the combination of AI and encryption holds great potential. The overall market has not yet entered the golden age of Web3, and there is still room for development in the future.
