On July 30, 2015, the Ethereum Genesis Block was born. At that time, its price was only $0.3 per unit, considered worthless and not taken seriously; even within the BTC community, many called it a "scam project."

As of today, ten years later, Ethereum (ETH) has become the 28th largest asset in the world by market capitalization, just behind Tencent, Coca-Cola, and Walmart, and even briefly surpassed JPMorgan and VISA.

In the past decade, it has experienced the following highlights:
2017 ICO boom: ignited the ERC20 standard, a surge of altcoins, and ETH price soared from $10 to $1400;
The summer of DeFi in 2020: Uniswap, Aave, and others became immensely popular, and ETH became the "underlying credit of on-chain finance";
In 2021, NFTs exploded: from Bored Apes to CryptoPunks, Ethereum once again stood at the top of public opinion.
The merger was successful in 2022: the consensus mechanism shifted from PoW to PoS, reducing energy consumption by 99%, marking the boldest upgrade in the history of blockchain.
L2 Ecosystem Explosion: Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base have gradually risen, making ETH scaling truly practical.
