Ethereum

Ethereum is the world computer. The universal platform for cryptocurrencies, blockchain apps, stablecoins, and decentralized technologies.

🧵 Why @ethereum Still Matters in 2025

Think Ethereum is old news?

Think again.

In 2025, Ethereum is more dominant than ever — powering DeFi, NFTs, and L2s — while evolving faster than any other chain.

Here’s why ETH still leads the pack 🦇🔊👇

Its core innovation?

Smart contracts.

This enabled DeFi, NFTs, DAOs — an entire permissionless economy — to flourish without central intermediaries.

Ethereum wasn't just money. It was a platform for everything.

Major milestones:

• 2022: The Merge — ETH shifts to Proof-of-Stake, cuts issuance by ~90%, energy use by 99.95%
• 2023: Shanghai — unlocks staked ETH
• 2024: Dencun upgrade — adds EIP-4844 (proto-danksharding), slashes L2 costs
• L2 adoption explodes 💥

Ethereum in 2025 = the base layer of crypto

It secures:

• $72B in DeFi
• Millions of NFTs
• Thousands of DAOs
• 1M+ validators
• Dozens of L2s (@optimism, @base…)

It’s not just a chain — it’s the settlement layer for Web3.

Critics say: “Ethereum is slow and expensive.”

They’re not wrong — for L1.

But L2s fix this.

Today you can swap tokens or play a game on Arbitrum or Optimism for pennies, with near-instant finality.

And it all rolls up to Ethereum for security.

What’s next?

Ethereum isn’t done:

• Danksharding = scale for rollups
• Statelessness = lightweight nodes
• Account abstraction = smoother UX
• zk-rollups = privacy + speed

It’s scaling without compromising decentralization.

Why Ethereum still wins:

• Largest dev ecosystem
• Deepest liquidity
• Most secure smart contract base
• Proven upgrade path
• Global decentralization
• Real economic gravity

In 2025, Ethereum isn’t “the old guard” — it’s the foundation.

TL;DR:

Ethereum solved programmability. Then security. Now it’s solving scalability.

While others optimize for speed, Ethereum is optimizing for credibility.

It’s the best place to build, settle, and innovate — and it’s not slowing down.

🔥 ETH is still king.

If you’re building or investing in crypto in 2025 — ignore Ethereum at your own risk.

@ethereum’s origin story:

Launched in 2015, Ethereum aimed to be a decentralized “world computer.”

Bitcoin proved digital money worked. But Ethereum introduced smart contracts — letting anyone build trustless apps on-chain.

It was programmable and decentralized.

Ethereum doesn't matter. Stop saying it does. It's old news.
