#Ethereum10: Outlook: From Technological Experiment to Transformation of Global Economic Infrastructure Ethereum celebrates its tenth anniversary, marking a new historical turning point for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Looking back over the past decade, ETH has evolved amidst controversy and innovation, from its initial proof-of-work mechanism to its current proof-of-stake model, from the DAO fork to the NFT craze. Ethereum has a clear roadmap for technological upgrades. It will focus on two major upgrades, Fusaka and Glamsterdam, scheduled for implementation in November of this year and 2026, respectively. These upgrades will significantly improve the network's data processing efficiency and user experience. In addition, Consensys announced that Ethereum's Layer-1 capacity will achieve a tenfold expansion within the next 12 months, while also achieving breakthrough interoperability for Layer-2 solutions. From a business application perspective, Ethereum is driving on-chain throughput, institutional adoption, and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). Max Shannon of Bitwise predicts that Ethereum will upgrade from a Verkle tree state to full danksharding, completely streamlining network processes and significantly lowering the barrier to node operation. Hart Lambur, co-founder of Risk Labs, even foresees that most assets will be tokenized on Ethereum, making it the "value settlement layer of the internet." The Ethereum community has long been preparing for the potential threat of quantum computing. Vitalik Buterin proposed cryptographic improvements as early as 2024, and research on quantum-resistant cryptography is still ongoing. ConsenSys states that Ethereum is an industry leader in addressing these challenges. Puffer Labs co-founder Amir Forouzani even boldly predicts that as user experience improves and platform advantages become apparent, Ethereum's security defenses may eventually surpass Bitcoin's. In summary, from idealism to practical application, from technical experimentation to economic infrastructure, Ethereum's next decade may see blockchain technology truly enter the mainstream. As Linehan stated, when the world works together to build this open system, its power will be beyond imagination. In this settlement network that connects everything, Ethereum may become "boring", but it is this "boring" that may mark the beginning of its true maturity.
