Ethereum's Decade: Breaking Free from Technical Rat Race
On Ethereum's 10th Anniversary: A Few Hopes for Ethereum
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsAuthor: Haotian
On Ethereum's 10th anniversary, let's skip the usual praise about prodigy Vitalik Buterin building a crypto empire. Instead, here are a few expectations:
1) Ethereum's biggest threat isn't high-TPS external competitors, but rather the "technological rat race trap" it has created for itself. A growing stack of complex yet under-delivering technical narratives is draining Ethereum's strategic focus. The top priority should be addressing the fragmented landscape of layer2 silos and returning to a unified, high-performance grand strategy centered on layer1.
2) The "ultra-deflationary" vision of UltraSound Money will eventually come true. The deflationary mechanism of EIP-1559 combined with the inflationary economics of POS staking rewards is already elegant. Once the triad of burning, POS staking yields, and Layer2 fee rebates operates effectively, Ethereum is bound to enter an "ultra-deflationary era." Compared to Bitcoin's limited value capture, Ethereum's multi-layered yield model offers overwhelming advantages in long-term expectations.
3) The Ethereum ETF narrative is an epic-level positive catalyst. Leveraging this Wall Street-driven virtuous cycle is far more effective than packaging technical concepts like "shared security." Therefore, Ethereum needs a "evangelist" like Michael Saylor—not someone who relies on flashy, technical jargon, but one who can clearly position Ethereum as the "global programmable digital asset settlement layer," a concept Wall Street can digest and hype for many years.
4) An AI grand strategy represents Ethereum's "redemption" opportunity. Enabling smart contracts to natively access AI capabilities, reviving AI agent applications on Ethereum, and making decentralized consensus the foundational infrastructure for AI+Crypto—only an "AI grand strategy" can rescue Ethereum from its current困境 of repetitive DeFi recursion, redefining both its narrative and real-world application boundaries.
