I just finished my trip to Asia, during which I had an in-depth exchange with Etherak developers and ecologists. Special thanks go to the nonce Classic, Four Pilars and the DRSV team in Seoul, as well as to SNZ's partners, and to the newly established community centre of the Etherfrog in Hong Kong, China. The Centre is the first permanent entity in Asia to be supported by the ETA Foundation and is a community under the ETA line。

I was most touched not only by the dynamic atmosphere of the industry, but also by the local builders’ rigorous and pragmatic approach and vision. I am deeply touched and encouraged by the proliferation of high-quality projects, innovative experiments and long-line layouts in the global ecosystem。

A set of data has also become alive as a result of this offline exchange: according to the data provided by Electric Capital, the total number of developers contributing to the Taifung industry has exceeded one million, totalling 10,12824 people; there is no other ecology in the encryption industry。

A milestone that deserves our attention

Millions are round figures, many of which are often empty, but this is a very significant figure. Behind the figures is the largest pool of technologists in the global open unlicensed block chain network, and, more critically, its size and depth of specialization continue to expand。

Of this million developers, about 232,000 have been active for the last 12 months。

A total of 10,12824 developers in the Taifung industry: full-time peak of 156780, part-time peak of 47,1220, single-time peak of 373394, with part-time developers accounting for the highest proportion of the total population。

Why the Ether? That's the real question

For a long time, discussions in the encryption industry have revolved around the speed of transactions, fees and throughput. Every emerging public chain claims to be "more quickly than the Etherwood". But the most important issue in the field of encryption is never the best chain performance, but another central question:

Which chain would the top developer choose for long-term deep tillage

In this case, there is no substitute for the one-size-fits-all. Its advantages are not only technical, but include the multiple dimensions of institutions, industry culture, economic systems and portfolio. This is the result of a system of collaboration between developers, infrastructure, industry standards, tools development, mobility, academic research, applications and industries that has been ongoing for 10 years and cannot be repeated in other ecosystems。

It has become a low-level, common operating system for programmable finance, chain-based issuance of raw assets。

What are millions of developers building now? And how to build an industry protection. River

The values of the millions of developers are at the core of the most difficult and far-reaching topics in the industries they are now fighting: bottom-up protocol expansion, privacy techniques, resistance to quantum security, and smart self-contained systems that will operate in the chain in the future。

Glamsterdam Upgrade: Innovation while at the core Root

It is planned to upgrade Glamsterdam in 2026, perfectly explaining how the Taifeng can innovate while upholding core values. The core change for this upgrade consists of a standardized proponent - the builder separation mechanism (ePBS) and the block-level access list (BALs), which will be implemented in parallel, with a significant increase in network throughput, with the expectation that the Gas ceiling will be revised upwards and a substantial increase in the capacity of the main network。

WHILE MEETING THE DEMAND FOR FUTURE MARKET EXPANSION, ENSURING THE CREDIBILITY OF THE NETWORK IS NEUTRAL, SECURE AND STABLE, AS WELL AS EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEV — A VISUAL EXPRESSION OF THE GROWING STRENGTH OF THE TAICONG RIVER。

Synchronization groupability: make dozens of Rollups like a complete public chain

Combinability has always been the ace in the Taifeng, and the next breakthrough is to extend this capability to all the second tier networks. Primary, basic Rollup, combined with synchronous combinations, can solve ecological fragmentation problems: Within a single atomic transaction, an intelligent contract for Rollup can be called directly to the main network or to a second-tier network, without the need to cross a chain bridge and without waiting。

Teams such as Linea, ETA, Gnosis, Zisk and others are working together to promote research and development by integrating the architecture with real-time demonstration techniques. The end effect is that dozens of Rollups are no longer isolated networks, but are integrated to respond directly to external questions about the fragmentation of the ETA。

Quantum safety: Ether's most prominent lead track

there is no mainstream public chain ecology that can pre-deploy the quantum age security system like the ethera. based on the `simplified eta' development route, the eta foundation ' s special post quantum safety team, pq.othereum.org official site, set up in early 2026, together with a weekly qa test network run by more than 10 client teams, the full open source synergetic migration programme has been put in place, with the goal of completing its landing by approximately 2029。

Once quantum calculations pose a security risk, the trillion-dollar custodians will only focus on one thing: which public chain is prepared as the earliest and most fully。

Rivers beyond developers: Portfolioability, harmonization of standards and industry trust

The talent advantage of the developer of the Ether Workshop will continue to grow, rooted in its bottom-up architecture design. Its most central network effects are not liquidity, but rather extreme combinations: lending, money stabilization, trading platforms, wallets, monetized assets, prognostic machines, second-tier Rollup, etc., are like freely woven financial blocks, interoperable by the harmonization of industry standards, and developers do not need to build complete systems from a single set。

EVM is the universal application layer for the encryption industry, and Solidity programming languages are available for hundreds of networks such as Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, ZKsync, Scroll, Linea, etc。

The acquisition of technology for the development of the utensils maximizes the development of choice spaces and thus leads to a positive cycle: more developers enter the market and improve their market mobility packages. Liquidity generates more liquidity and is constantly amplified by portfolio。

The ETA is firmly positioned to occupy the core positions of value sedimentation, rather than simply remaining on the dynamic side of the short-term chain。

The three core strengths continue to widen the lead gap:

:: Credible neutrality: the ETA has over 900,000 certified nodes, while Solana has only about 800. This highly decentralised and neutral platform attribute is a central feature that is highly valued by large financial institutions

:: Modularization architecture: Rollup, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism and others, rather than fragmenting it into an eco-cosmic, extended to an interconnected modularized chain economy, with all two layers of networks able to inherit the main network security

• INDUSTRIAL ECO-CULTURAL: THE ETHER WORKSHOP BROUGHT TOGETHER TOP INDUSTRY RESEARCHERS, PASSWORD SCIENTISTS AND EIP STANDARD-SETTERS WHO DEFINED THE DIRECTION OF THE ENTIRE ENCRYPTION INDUSTRY. THIS CULTURAL BARRIER, WHICH IS BASED ON TALENT, IS DIFFICULT TO REPLICATE IN ANY FORKLIFT PROJECT。

A unique Ether House

There is a difference between simply creating short-term chain dynamism and becoming the bottom of long-term coordination of global primary finance and gaining the confidence of head-line financial institutions. In the minds of the most specific asset-holders, the Taifeng is the absolute mainstream of perception, which places the highest emphasis on security, trust and mobility. I witnessed this industry trend at close range during my previous tenure in Belet。

The development of the scientific and technological sector is governed by:In the long run, ecological resources will be concentrated in a common understanding of uniform standards, sufficient mobility and developers, which is the indissoluble moat of the Insoluble River。

After exchanges between Seoul, Hong Kong, China, and local developers, builders, and ecologists, I am more convinced than ever of the competitive advantage of the Ethera. I have seen the best talent to build the next generation of financial infrastructure — the future entrepreneurs of the industry, the designers of the intelligent and autonomous financial system — the same team and practitioners who will reshape the world。

The future of the Ether House is happening right now。
