以太坊刚满10岁。虽然它广泛被认为是Web3和智能合约的基础,但这篇博客深入探讨了以太坊历史、里程碑以及对区块链发展的10个鲜为人知的事实。

以太坊十周年庆典的10个鲜为人知的事实

Intro

今天标志着加密历史上的一个重要里程碑:


以太坊满10岁。

自2015年7月30日推出以来,以太坊从白皮书中的实验性想法成长为Web3的支柱。它推动了去中心化金融、NFT、DAO、真实资产、Layer 2解决方案等。但是,超越主流叙事的背后,是充满较少人知的事实的更深层历史,这些事实帮助塑造了我们今天所知的以太坊。


为了庆祝它的十岁生日,我们列出了10个你可能不知道的关于以太坊的事情。

  1. 以太坊是通过众筹融资的

    在2014年,以太坊通过公开预售筹集了超过31,000 BTC。当时价值约1800万美元。这为未来代币发行的演变奠定了蓝图。


  2. 第一个以太坊区块奖励是5 ETH

    以太坊最初每个区块奖励矿工5 ETH。随着时间的推移,这个数字逐渐减少,并在2022年通过合并转向权益证明后最终降至零。


  3. DAO黑客事件导致以太坊唯一的大型链分裂

    在2016年,DAO智能合约中的一个漏洞导致360万ETH被盗。以太坊社区投票决定通过硬分叉来逆转黑客攻击。这一有争议的决定造成了分裂——以太坊继续沿着逆转后的链前进,而少数人则坚持原链,成为以太坊经典。

  4. 加文·伍德创造了Web3这个术语

    加文·伍德是以太坊的联合创始人和首任首席技术官。他还撰写了以太坊黄皮书,定义了该协议的技术设计。后来,他创立了Polkadot,并提出了Web3作为去中心化互联网的愿景。

  5. 以太坊燃烧部分交易费用

    自2021年伦敦升级以来,以太坊引入了一种被称为EIP-1559的费用结构。每笔交易费用的一部分现在被销毁,永久减少ETH的总供应量。迄今为止,已经燃烧超过400万个ETH。

  6. 维塔利克·布特林获得了西尔创业奖学金

    在2014年,维塔利克获得了西尔创业奖学金的10万美元资助,以全职致力于以太坊的工作。他选择辍学,构建将成为全球使用最广泛的智能合约平台的项目。


  7. 以太坊没有供应上限

    与比特币2100万的限制不同,以太坊从未设计有固定的最大供应量。但自从合并和燃烧费用开始后,以太坊在高网络使用期间常常变得通缩。

  8. 以太坊差点有个不同的名字

    维塔利克探索了其他名称,比如Stratum和Aether,最终决定使用以太坊。这个词是在维基百科上找到的,并且他喜欢它的科幻和未来感。


  9. CryptoKitties曾使整个以太坊网络拥堵

    在2017年,一个名为CryptoKitties的数字收藏游戏变得如此受欢迎,以至于使以太坊网络拥堵,交易速度显著减慢。这是以太坊的一次早期压力测试,揭示了对扩展解决方案的需求。


  10. 2017年在以太坊上售出的第一个代币化房地产资产



    区块链上房地产的早期例子之一发生在基辅的一套公寓被代币化并使用以太坊智能合约售出。这标志着链上真实资产的开端。

所以你看,十年,十个事实。



今天你学到新东西了吗?

02

Ethereum was crowdfunded

In 2014, Ethereum raised over 31,000 BTC through a public presale. That was worth around 18 million US dollars at the time. This set the blueprint for how token launches would evolve in the years to come.

03

The first Ethereum block reward was 5 ETH

Ethereum originally rewarded miners with 5 ETH per block. This number decreased over time and eventually reached zero after the network transitioned to proof of stake through the Merge in 2022.

04

The DAO hack led to Ethereum’s only major chain split

In 2016, a vulnerability in The DAO smart contract led to the theft of 3.6 million ETH. The Ethereum community voted to reverse the hack through a hard fork. This controversial decision created a split - Ethereum continued with the reversed chain, while a minority stuck to the original, which became Ethereum Classic.

05

Gavin Wood coined the term Web3

Gavin Wood was Ethereum’s cofounder and its first chief technology officer. He also authored the Ethereum Yellow Paper, which defined the technical design of the protocol. Later, he went on to found Polkadot and introduced the vision of Web3 as a decentralized internet.

06

Ethereum burns part of its transaction fees

Since the London Upgrade in 2021, Ethereum introduced a fee structure called EIP-1559. Part of every transaction fee is now burned, permanently reducing the total supply of ETH. So far, over 4 million ETH has been burned.

07

Vitalik Buterin received the Thiel Fellowship

In 2014, Vitalik was awarded 100,000 US dollars by the Thiel Fellowship to work on Ethereum full time. He left university to build what would become the most used smart contract platform in the world.

08

Ethereum does not have a supply cap

Unlike Bitcoin’s 21 million limit, Ethereum was never designed with a fixed maximum supply. But since the Merge and fee-burning began, Ethereum has often become deflationary during times of high network usage.

09

Ethereum almost had a different name

Vitalik explored other names such as Stratum and Aether before settling on Ethereum. He found the word on Wikipedia and liked its sci-fi and futuristic sound.

10

CryptoKitties once jammed the entire Ethereum network

In 2017, a digital collectible game called CryptoKitties became so popular that it congested Ethereum to the point where transactions slowed dramatically. It was an early stress test for Ethereum and revealed the need for scaling solutions.

11

The first tokenized real estate asset on Ethereum was sold in 2017

One of the earliest examples of real estate on the blockchain happened when a Kyiv apartment was tokenized and sold using an Ethereum smart contract. This marked the beginning of on-chain real-world assets.

So there you have it. Ten years, ten facts.
