Ethereum Beacon Chain's Fourth Anniversary: Moving Towards the Future of Internet Value Settlement Layer
Powered by ChatGPTAccording to Wu, Justin Drake, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, stated that the Ethereum Beacon Chain has been in existence for four years since its launch on December 1, 2020. Initially, only 500 thousand $ETH were staked, but it has now become an infrastructure with over 10 thousand consensus participants and an economy worth 125 billion dollars. Future development directions include enhancing censorship resistance, optimizing MEV handling, lowering staking thresholds, accelerating finality time, and achieving quantum resistance and full sharding. Ethereum is committed to becoming the settlement layer for internet value, and its technological upgrades and performance improvements will continue to drive the future of decentralized computing.
