Founded in 2015 by several industry figures such as Vitalik Buterin and Charles Hoskinson, ETH was created with the idea to design a decentralised international digital computer that will be able to execute smart contracts. With this new milestone now reached, the future of the platform is looking good.
With over 10 million blocks now mined on the platform, the community is highly anticipating the next milestone. The whole ETH network is looking to shift to ETH 2.0 later this year and will be upgraded to a new security model on the price of stake.
It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out. For more news on this and other crypto updates, keep it with CryptoDaily!
