A Tribute to Ten Years of Ethereum
Backed by ETHCC and Shutter Network, the Time Capsule aims to gather contributions from builders, artists, and users, encapsulating the culture and evolution of Ethereum over the past ten years. Submissions will include messages, memes, and on-chain artifacts, all aimed at reflecting the vibrant community that has defined Ethereum’s journey.
Key details:
Submissions Open: June 30, 2025
Submissions Close: July 30, 2025
Reveal Date: July 30, 2026
Each contribution will cost approximately $2.50 USD (0.001 ETH), with 100% of proceeds supporting the Protocol Guild, ensuring the long-term sustainability of Ethereum core development. The contributions will be encrypted using Shutter Network’s advanced threshold encryption, keeping them private and tamper-proof until their reveal on Ethereum’s 11th anniversary.
Jérôme de Tychey, President of Ethereum-France, expressed excitement about the project, stating:
“Celebrating our history is key to nurturing Ethereum’s culture and values. This initiative is a fantastic way to kick off the next decade of blockchain adoption.”

Cheeky Gorilla from Protocol Guild added, “The Ethereum Time Capsule offers a unique opportunity for our community to reflect on the progress made over the past decade as we look forward to what’s next.”
Luis Bezzenberger, Head of Product at Shutter Network, highlighted the significance of the initiative: “By committing encrypted entries on-chain, we ensure that submissions remain private and unaltered until the reveal in 2026.”
As the Ethereum community prepares for this exciting milestone, the Time Capsule represents not just a celebration but a permanent archive of Ethereum’s story, capturing the creativity and innovation that has propelled the network forward.
