Ethereum's Onchain 'Time Capsule' for 10th Anniversary
The Ethereum community has launched an onchain 'time capsule' to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the network's genesis block. This initiative invites participants to secure art, messages, and personal thoughts in encrypted smart contracts, to be revealed on the network’s 11th anniversary. The project was introduced at the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC), supported by the Protocol Guild and Shutter Network, permitting file submissions at $2.50 worth of ETH. Revenue will aid Protocol Guild's core research, with Shutter's encryption safeguarding entries until their unveiling a year later. In celebrating its past, Ethereum aims to reinforce its culture and values as expressed by EthCC founder Jérôme de Tychey and contributor Cheeky Gorilla. Launched in 2015, Ethereum stands as the second-largest blockchain network, valued at approximately $300 billion. Vitalik Buterin's vision for a programmable blockchain has been transformative since the publication of Ethereum’s whitepaper in 2013, marking a new era in blockchain technology.
