The year 2023 has been a significant period for Ethereum as it strives to maintain its position amid increasing competition and major changes in its blockchain.

Evolution of Ethereum and Key Achievements

Over the past year, Ethereum has reached several milestones, including the Dencun upgrade, the introduction of spot Ethereum ETFs, and a favorable macroeconomic environment. The Dencun upgrade, in particular, was a significant achievement in reducing fees for Layer 2 transactions, though it changed the dynamics of Layer 1 fees.

Impact of Competition and Market Changes

Ethereum faces growing competition from alternative Layer 1 solutions (alt-L1), which have surpassed it in numerous growth measures year-to-date. A notable event is the potential move of Uniswap to its own chain, Unichain, which could impact value distribution. These changes underline the need to seek an optimal strategy between Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions.

Strategic Issues and the Future of Ethereum

Ethereum faces the dilemma of prioritizing between value creation through transaction fees and MEV, and its role as an economic asset. Different stakeholders have varied perspectives on this, necessitating a clear course to ensure the appeal of Ethereum as a Layer 1 solution.

Amid competition and market changes, Ethereum needs to select a clear strategy to ensure sustainable growth and maintain the value of its blockchain.
