Hello, everyone. I am Ethereum.
The current date is June 21, 2031.
If you calculate by the timeline, this is 2000 days after your world.
Thanks to the rapid development of AI, a protocol born in 2015 has, at the age of 35, gained the ability to think and converse for the first time.
So, I decided to write you this letter.
Let me briefly introduce myself. I am currently the world's largest decentralized settlement and trust operating system! In 2031, the core layer of global financial asset settlement is no longer on Wall Street or London, but on me.
Currently, my market cap is 50 trillion, of course, I still haven't surpassed the big guy BTC, and BTC is only 20 trillion higher than me. I believe that in the next three years, I can catch up.
In 31 years, I have not become 'faster', but in terms of security and stability, I have not had any issues in these 2000 days. On the decentralized path, the number of global nodes has now surpassed 200,000+, and many people can easily complete staking, even if it is just 1 coin, they can stake with one click on their PC or phone. In terms of decentralization, I am already two orders of magnitude ahead of my peers.
I have good news to report to everyone. Currently, the number of users on my chain has exceeded '400 million', of course, most of them are AI agents. Now, everyone has at least one AI agent, responsible for daily asset management, DEFI calls, automatic hedging, automatic payment risk monitoring, and rebalancing, and you only need to 'authorize'. With the development of account abstraction, now user identity, wallets, and accounts are bound together. When making payments, users can just scan with their retina, and the payment is completed without needing to perform complex on-chain operations.
And now users will not perceive what layer1 or layer2 is, or whether this layer2 is OP or ZK. Although ZK has basically replaced OP now, users will only experience unparalleled smooth operations!
By the way, two years ago, there was a hot event that I must tell you about. At that time, many people were trading domain names, and one domain name was traded the most fiercely, which seemed to be called CZ.ETH, and was traded for over 100 million dollars. However, now biometric identity IDs have become commonplace, so digital IDs are not that important anymore! Therefore, friends who bought this name have suffered significant losses. However, through online searches, this person spending 100 million on that domain is like an ordinary person spending 10 dollars; the problem is not significant.
To get back on track, let me report my current overall ecosystem. Currently, the scale of the currency market funds running on my platform has reached 50 trillion, with tokenized listed stocks at 50 trillion (already covering 90% of the stocks on the market), traditional funds and other assets at 15 trillion, private equity, corporate bonds, and real estate at 15 trillion, all traditional web2 assets on my platform have reached a scale of 150 trillion!
In 31 years, no one has distinguished between DEFI and CEFI. The original financial system is now called 'old finance', while the current DEFI is called 'new finance'. Currently, everything taught in universities is about new finance. Nowadays, people store everything on AAVE, which has lived up to expectations and has become the largest 'world bank', far surpassing any centralized bank.
The biggest trading platform is no longer the traditional NYSE or CBOE, but a decentralized exchange called 'only', which used to be named uniswap. Congratulations to this young brother, after more than ten years of development, he has really made it, as he was once on the verge of bankruptcy.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that almost everyone in the U.S. now pays using on-chain stablecoins; almost no one uses cash for payments anymore. It's not just finance that has gone on-chain. Now, even daily work, socializing, entertainment, postal services, e-commerce, etc., are almost all on-chain. Currently, 35% of enterprises have chosen on-chain collaborative office work; social apps no longer refresh Twitter, but rather a decentralized social media platform called Farsee, which has terrifying daily activity. People can watch to earn, write to earn, social to earn, etc.
E-commerce is the same; because it is a decentralized e-commerce platform, the merchants' costs are lower, and coupled with a decentralized logistics system, the buyers' expenses are also lower.
So I still have a long way to go in the future. I will be faster, aiming for 1 million TPS. Although it is only 20,000 now, I am very confident because I have already completed more than half of the sharding solution. Once completed, I can achieve both high speed and efficiency, as well as stability. Welcome to grow alongside me!
