Some people in #Crypto only support Decentralization when they're making money — but as soon as they start taking losses, they suddenly want centralized solutions like bailouts, regulations, or someone to 'fix' the system.

The most important tech innovation of our lifetime is a database that anyone in the world can use to build apps, issue assets and transact without fear of rug pulls or downtime. This is what it means to be an honest settlement layer.
A blockchain does not become an honest settlement layer from narrative. Aligning with one jurisdiction, running media campaigns and lobbying with governments does not help. These are red flags.
To find the most honest settlement layer, just look where developers are building and where stablecoins, NFTs and RWAs are being issued. It doesn't matter where you live or what you believe, Ethereum just works for you.

ETHRNSM has been featured by @ethereum as one of the hottest things going down right now.
Ethereum is for shipping.
Here’s 21 things the global @ethereum ecosystem got done in the last few weeks:
1. The latest upgrade to Ethereum, Pectra, went live.
Pectra introduced smart account wallet features to improve UX, increased capacity for Ethereum L2s by 2x, and activated validator UX improvements.
Ethereum is for 0 downtime upgrades.
2. @Stripe announced their stablecoin financial accounts. Now Stripe users in 101 countries can use Ethereum to hold, send, and receive stablecoins like USDC. Ethereum is for global financial freedom.
3. @Uniswap crossed $3T in all-time swap volume. Ethereum is for 24/7 decentralized markets.
4. @Coalapay deployed > $40,000 raised on Ethereum for the victims of the Myanmar earthquake, using the power of stablecoins to get funds directly to aid recipients. Ethereum is for helping those in need.
5. @Superstatefunds announced Opening Bell, enabling companies to issue public equity onto Ethereum. Ethereum is for public markets.
6. @NasdaqBTCS announced plans to bring ETH exposure into public markets. Ethereum is for ETH.
7. @CoWSwap hit a new record of 24K unique traders, helping protect all of them from the hidden costs of MEV. Ethereum is for the average user.
8. @Aave announced their work with the ANT group to build a real world asset (RWA) marketplace on Ethereum. Ethereum is for tokenization.
9. @ETHRNSM launched a marketing collective for Ethereum, where anyone can submit content that pushes Ethereum culture forward and get rewarded based on performance. Ethereum is for internet culture.
10. @Coinbasewallet announced that @Farcaster will be integrated directly into the wallet feed (early beta), which will enable millions of people to easily use decentralized social media built on Ethereum. Ethereum is for building better social media.
11. @Focustree_app hit 1M downloads & 100K MAUs on @Starknet, helping students earn rewards for staying focused on their studies. Ethereum is for onboarding.
12. @MorphoLabs on @Base reached $1B TVL, The first DeFi protocol to cross this mark on the Base rollup. Ethereum is for DeFi.
13. @World_chain_ now has over 12.5M verified humans on their Ethereum L2. Ethereum is for humans.
14. @ZKsync is now fully EVM equivalent, meaning devs can deploy existing Solidity contracts easily and use existing EVM tooling. Ethereum is for developers.
15. @aztecnetwork launched their public testnet, the next step towards a fully private L2 built on Ethereum. Ethereum is for privacy.
16. Wonder L2 went live, built on @zksync by @WonderFiLabs, which was recently acquired by @RobinhoodApp. Ethereum is for L2s.
17. @SuccinctLabs and @RiscZero announced tech that can prove Ethereum blocks in under 12s, a 10x improvement since last year. This major advancement will accelerate Ethereum’s roadmap and scaling efforts to fully leverage ZK cryptography. Ethereum is for pushing the frontier forward.
Oh, and a few more things…
18. @Base reached stage 1…
19. and @Kinto_xyz reached stage 1…
20. and @Scroll_ZKP reached stage 1…
21. and @Starknet reached stage 1!
Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem is now stronger and more secure than ever before, thanks to the hard work of all these teams. Ethereum is for secure, decentralized L2s that grow the Ethereum ecosystem.
