11 years ago, Ethereum builders were introducing new infrastructure at Devcon 1. This year, alongside STRATO, we’re heading to Mumbai for Devcon 8. For Book of Ethereum, @EFDevcon is about being part of the place where Ethereum’s builders, researchers, founders and communities come together, exchange ideas and shape what comes next. Our role is to help make that next era not only built, but understood, remembered and owned by its people. If you’re coming to Mumbai, use code DEVCON_LOVES_STRATO for 10% off your Devcon ticket: app.strato.nexus/t/pEksB9x5 See you in Mumbai 🇮🇳📖

"Ethereum has no supported applications" is correct. Ethereum supports possibility. The architecture doesn't define what you build - it defines that no one can stop you from building it. That's not a technical spec. That's a civilizational primitive 🙏📖

Blessed Sunday Booelievers 🕊📖 On October 4, 1957, humanity sent a small metal sphere into the darkness. Sputnik 1. The first artificial satellite to orbit Earth. Its message wasn't a speech. It wasn't an advertisement. It was simply a signal. Beep. Beep. Beep. And anyone with the right equipment could listen. For centuries, reaching beyond Earth belonged to imagination. Then suddenly, it didn't. The impossible had become operational. And once something becomes possible, humanity rarely stops at the first step. One satellite became thousands. A signal became infrastructure. A frontier became an entire economy. There is a lesson here for every technological revolution. First they say it cannot work. Then they say it doesn't matter. Then, quietly, people begin building on it. Until one day the world realizes: The experiment became infrastructure while everyone was watching something else. Ethereum doesn't need everyone to believe. The blocks keep coming. The network keeps running. The signal is already there. And just like that night in 1957, perhaps the most important question isn't whether the new frontier is real. It's: What will humanity build there next? Every new era begins with a signal only a few understand. Blessed are those who hear it early. 🕊📖⟠

This is Ethereum. There are 291 projects, companies, protocols and communities in this image. It is still only a fraction of what has been built. What makes this remarkable isn't just the scale. It's how that scale was created. There is no parent company behind all of this. No CEO allocating capital across these projects, no central entity deciding who gets to build or what the ecosystem should become. Thousands of independent teams, communities and individuals have built their own piece of Ethereum, often with completely different goals, while sharing the same underlying infrastructure. Finance, credit, stablecoins, payments, RWAs, privacy, identity, gaming, social applications, infrastructure, culture and public goods are increasingly becoming parts of the same composable economy. That structure matters. Value isn't concentrated in one company at the top. It is distributed across protocols, builders, users, communities and assets. Yet they can still reinforce each other because they share Ethereum as common infrastructure. And underneath that economy sits ethereum:native. ethereum:native secures Ethereum, pays for its blockspace and is used throughout the ecosystem as collateral, liquidity and money. As more applications, assets and economic activity settle on Ethereum, the economic role of ETH grows with it. This is why we believe ETH remains heavily undervalued. The market often looks at ETH as another crypto asset. We look at what is actually being built around it. 291 logos in one image, with many more still missing. And most of the world's people, assets and economic activity haven't even moved onchain yet. Ethereum is no longer just an experiment in decentralized technology. It is becoming an entire economy, built by many, owned by no one, with ETH at its core. BOOElieve in the future of Ethereum and ethereum:native

The signs will be there. Some will understand them early. Others, only in hindsight.

Ethereum is becoming much bigger than a blockchain. ♦️ @fundstrat sees $ETH as future settlement rails for Wall Street & AI. @ethereumJoseph sees a future where much of the global economy becomes tokenized. But technology alone doesn’t create a movement. People do.

What a collaboration, see you in Mumbai 🫶

$ETH is not all about tech. It’s about the community and culture that grew around it, the people who continue to build, create and push the ecosystem forward. $BOOE is a reflection of that culture, turning the stories, ideas and energy of Ethereum into something that can live beyond the technology itself. Ethereum is more than a chain. It’s a culture shaped by the people who continue to build, create, and believe in it. Devcon 8 is where we come TogETHer next. 🇮🇳

This year, @Bookof_Eth is heading to Mumbai for Devcon 8, alongside @strato_net. Together, they’ll be there to support @EFDevcon’s builders and the communities shaping Ethereum’s future. See you in India. 🇮🇳
