July 30th at 3:26pm 1pm +UTC, Ethereum celebrates the 10th year from the Genesis block.
Ethereum has come a long way. It survived, survived and thrived against all possibilities, leading to breakthroughs in tokenization, fundraising, debt and digital ownership. It bootstraps the entire industry and is now reshaping the way it thinks about money, identity and adjustment. What began as a white paper and wonderful experiments have transformed into a global village stratum around the world. And ten years later, Ethereum is still in its infancy.
Working with the community, the Ethereum Foundation will support a series of global meetups, on-chain artifacts and live streams that will ring at Ethereum for the next decade.
If you have your own ideas or visions on how to celebrate Ethereum's 10th anniversary, we would like to hear about them and help you focus your attention on community-driven projects around the world. Please contact us 10years@ethereum.org
