#以太坊技术升级 Vitalik's New Year address really brightened my outlook! 🚀

Ethereum's technological achievements by 2025 are truly hardcore—Gas limit increases, Blob quantities grow, zkEVM performance breakthroughs, PeerDAS advancement... These sound very technical, but the underlying logic is actually simple: **Every upgrade serves the same goal—making Ethereum a truly free and open internet infrastructure**.

What moved me most is Vitalik's emphasis on the core mission: not chasing hype narratives, not reshaping deflationary properties, but building **decentralized applications that are fraud-proof, censorship-resistant, and free from third-party interference**. The example he gave of the "exit test" is very vivid—even if the original developers disappear, the system continues to operate, and users don't experience any interruption. That is true resilience!

This is the ultimate romance of Web3: supporting financial systems, identity verification, governance mechanisms... building infrastructure beyond the rise and fall of enterprises and ideological shifts with code and cryptography.

Of course, realizing this vision requires two key conditions to work together: **bottom-layer scalability** and **true decentralization**. The good news is that the tools developers have are already powerful enough; now it's just a matter of how to fully utilize them.

The future is here, and we are witnessing history.
