Ethereum's Latest Upgrade: Why It's Outpacing Other Blockchains



Langgam Pos - Ethereum continues to lead the charge in blockchain technology adoption across various sectors. A prime example of this is the launch of its Layer-2 network, designed as a scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain.

Ethereum (ETH) is facilitating groundbreaking innovations in the financial world, such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi), which is revolutionizing the way we save and lend money transparently, without the need for intermediaries.

William Susanto, Chief Technology Officer at Indodax, highlighted that Ethereum, one of the largest blockchain platforms globally, has seen significant changes with its latest upgrade.

"This upgrade reflects Ethereum's commitment to continually innovate and tackle challenges in the ever-evolving blockchain and cryptocurrency landscape," he said, as reported by Antara on August 5, 2024.

According to CoinTelegraph, the Layer-2 network of Ethereum reduces transaction costs by up to 15 times compared to Ethereum's Layer-1, making it more efficient for use in DeFi applications, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and blockchain-based games.

A report from ConsenSys indicates that Ethereum's progress in adopting blockchain technology is evident across various sectors. The introduction of the Layer-2 network is a key example of how Ethereum is enhancing transaction speed and efficiency on its blockchain, leading to greater adoption by users and developers alike.

For instance, DeFi on Ethereum is creating decentralized financial systems that replace or complement traditional financial services like loans, insurance, trading, and savings through blockchain technology and smart contracts (protocols that facilitate agreements between parties without intermediaries).

Distinguishing Features from Other Blockchains

Ethereum is also known for its support of smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps). This differentiates Ethereum from other blockchains like Bitcoin, which focuses primarily on digital currency transactions.

"Ethereum's vision includes a strong focus on DApps, and there is continuous push to develop these applications further, while the network itself is already fast and cost-effective," said Mario, Founder of the Web3 Parallaz Community.

Furthermore, Ethereum's decentralized nature allows for limitless application development within the digital currency space. This enables developers to leverage Web3 technology to target a global market with immense potential.

The Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) for Ethereum is expected to rise due to new liquidity influxes, particularly from the U.S. market. This will ease access to Ethereum and support price stability, which is promising news for investors and development in Indonesia.
