Ethereum has evolved dramatically with its transition to Proof-of-Stake and ongoing upgrades like Dencun in 2025. Layer-2 solutions such as Optimism and Arbitrum are slashing fees and boosting throughput, making DeFi and NFTs more accessible. Smart contracts are powering everything from decentralized apps to real-world asset tokenization. With ETH staking yields averaging 5-7%, it's an attractive passive income source. But challenges like network congestion during peaks persist. For newcomers, start with a small stake and explore wallets like MetaMask. Ethereum isn't stopping—it's building the internet of value.
