Matthias Seidl (Matze) is CoFounder and Lorenz Lehmann is Research Lead at growthepie.

In this episode, we review growthepie's recent report on Ethereum's 10-year anniversary, "Building The World Ledger." Ethereum’s first decade has been defined by landmark upgrades such as The Merge and Dencun, the rise of Layer 2 scaling, and bold experiments that shape how value flows back to ETH. This episode breaks down the key milestones, ecosystem, use cases, and roadmap that will further cement Ethereum as the world’s most trustless and reliable ledger.
