On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Ethereum's birth, we stand at the starting point of a new era and propose the vision of "Lean Ethereum", which is not only a summary of the past but also a prospect for the next ten years.

While pursuing extreme performance, how can we ensure that the security and decentralization of Ethereum are not compromised? In the face of millions of transactions per second and the potential threat of quantum computing, next-generation cryptographic technology will be key.

The uniqueness of Ethereum lies in its stability and diversity. Since its inception, it has maintained 100% uptime, boasts unparalleled client diversity, and has an economic security guarantee of up to $130 billion. As the cornerstone of the value internet, Ethereum may safeguard trillions of dollars worth of assets in the future, spanning decades or even centuries.

To address potential threats, including nation-state attacks and quantum computing challenges, Ethereum is building an impregnable digital fortress. This defensive posture not only reflects Ethereum's resilience but also highlights its leadership position in the blockchain space.

'The concept of 'Lean Ethereum' emphasizes enhancing the efficiency and security of the network through innovative technology while maintaining core advantages. This balanced development strategy will ensure that Ethereum remains competitive in the future.

With the continuous development of blockchain technology, Ethereum faces both challenges and opportunities. How to improve performance while maintaining its decentralized nature, and how to respond to emerging security threats, are issues that Ethereum needs to address. Innovations in cryptography will play a key role in this process.

Looking to the future, although the development path of Ethereum is full of challenges, it also contains infinite possibilities. Through the joint efforts of the community and continuous technological innovation, Ethereum is expected to continue leading the development of the blockchain industry in the next decade, making significant contributions to building a more open, secure, and efficient digital economy system.
