Ethereum’s Journey: From Genesis to Today
Ethereum launched on July 30, 2015, with a Genesis block containing 8,893 transactions. The initial set of transactions on Ethereum’s Frontier allocated various amounts of Ether tokens to different wallet addresses, introducing a block reward of 5 ETH. Ever since, the blockchain has evolved and inspired the creation of similar decentralized blockchain solutions, including fierce competitors like Solana and Cardano.
Since then, Ethereum has grown massively over the past ten years, retaining its status as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
