We all know that Ethereum has a massive impact on blockchain development since its founding in 2015. As such, nowadays it is really hard to imagine what blockchain and cryptocurrency would be like today without it.
According to a recent research by ConsenSys, which is a blockchain venture production studio that builds decentralized apps (dApps) on Ethereum, the word “Ethereum” has been referenced in more than 110 million searches on Google in the past two years alone.
On top of this, #ethereum gets tweeted 20,000 times daily and the ETH network so far has processed about 240 million transactions. The record was January 4th when the network set an all-time high of 1.3 million transactions in 24 hours.
On top of this, there are nearly 17,000 nodes operating the Ethereum blockchain on six continents – easily making it the most decentralized blockchain platform. When it comes to the number of active addresses, January 4th is again the date when this number exceeded 1 million and created a record of more than 350,000 new addresses in 24 hours.
Ethereum is also a platform that is most involved with smart contracts. These are being one of the most dynamic tools in technology today – and 94% of the top 100 tokens based on market cap are build on Ethereum (with 87% of the top 800 tokens).
All of this makes Ethereum the largest blockchain developer community. Many foundations, organizations, businesses and startups have joined alliances to benefit from the Ethereum ecosystem which is the most visible ever since it expanded to more than 500 members in one year, becoming The Ethereum Enterprise Alliance.
On top of this, many governments looking to utilize blockchain technology have used Ethereum – such as the names of Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Chile and Estonia.
