Ethereum, co-founded by Vitalik Buterin in 2013, has grown from a Reddit idea into the second-largest blockchain by market cap. Its early presale raised $18.3 million, funding network development and community growth. Over the past decade, Ethereum has powered DeFi, NFTs, and Layer-2 scaling, while transitioning to proof-of-stake via The Merge. Financial institutions like BlackRock and JPMorgan now build on Ethereum, drawn by its security and programmability. Ethereum’s leaders envision it as a ‘global computer,’ integral to AI, robotics, and decentralized infrastructure. The network’s future hinges on balancing innovation with stability, scalability, and accessibility, while maintaining its decentralized roots.

Ethereum (ETH) surged past $3,000, marking its highest price since February, driven by a broader crypto rally and Bitcoin’s new all-time high. On-chain data reveals a supply squeeze, with exchange reserves hitting a record low (18.59M ETH) and staked ETH reaching 29.91M. Institutional demand is rising, evidenced by Ethereum’s $4T stablecoin volume in Q2 2025 and growing use in tokenization and ETFs. Analysts like Pentoshi and Arthur Hayes predict further gains, with Hayes forecasting ETH to outperform Bitcoin. A $3.5M ETH sale by an Ethereum Foundation-linked wallet sparked debate, though the Foundation clarified it was conducted by spin-off Argot Collective.

Sharding is a key feature of Ethereum 2.0 designed to address the scalability trilemma—balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. Currently, Ethereum processes 12–30 transactions per second, far below traditional systems like Visa. Sharding divides the blockchain into smaller partitions (shards), each handling its own transactions and state, thereby improving throughput. Cross-shard transactions use receipts for verification, though challenges like single-shard takeover attacks and fraud detection remain. Validators in Ethereum 2.0 propose and attest to blocks within shards, leveraging Proof-of-Stake for security. While shards initially won’t support smart contracts, future advancements may integrate them, further enhancing Ethereum’s capabilities.
