Over the past decade, it has been the foundation for entirely new industries—decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs)—cementing its role as a core layer of infrastructure for global financial activity. This groundwork has paved the way for the next phase of large-scale adoption and technical scaling, with the potential for Ethereum to become, in Vitalik Buterin’s words, “a really valuable part of global infrastructure that helps make the internet and the economy a more free and open place.”</p>
