以太坊：一场加密革命

自十年前首次代币发行以来，以太坊重新定义了区块链技术的可能性。作为智能合约的先驱，以太坊为无数去中心化应用程序（dApps）和去中心化金融（DeFi）协议铺平了道路。

As the world marks a decade since the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) that launched Ethereum, two major events will take place in Tokyo and San Francisco to celebrate the occasion. These events will not only highlight Ethereum's remarkable past but also set the stage for the future of blockchain technology.

在世界纪念以太坊首次代币发行（ICO）十周年之际，东京和旧金山将举办两场重大活动来庆祝这一时刻。这些事件不仅将凸显以太坊的辉煌过去，还将为区块链技术的未来奠定基础。

Since its ICO ten years ago, Ethereum has fundamentally changed the possibilities of blockchain technology. As the pioneer of the smart contract, Ethereum paved the way for a multitude of decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. In addition to facilitating secure transactions, this platform has also inspired a new generation of developers and entrepreneurs.

自十年前首次代币发行以来，以太坊从根本上改变了区块链技术的可能性。作为智能合约的先驱，以太坊为众多去中心化应用程序（dApp）和去中心化金融（DeFi）协议铺平了道路。除了促进安全交易之外，该平台还激励了新一代的开发者和企业家。

One of the most captivating aspects of Ethereum is its central role in the crypto ecosystem. With an average of 1.1 million transactions per day in 2022 and a market capitalization of over $415 billion, Ethereum is undeniably the leading cryptocurrency. This massive adoption is a testament to the continued confidence of investors and users in the platform’s robustness and flexibility.

以太坊最吸引人的方面之一是它在加密生态系统中的核心作用。以太坊到 2022 年平均每天有 110 万笔交易，市值超过 4150 亿美元，无可否认是领先的加密货币。这种大规模采用证明了投资者和用户对该平台的稳健性和灵活性的持续信心。

In Tokyo, from July 24 to 30, EDCON 2024 will be held, a grand event organized by Cy Li, director of EDCON and De University of Ethereum. This highly anticipated gathering will bring together Ethereum pioneers, including co-founders Joe Lubin and Vitalik Buterin, as well as key members of the Ethereum Foundation. The event aims to celebrate not only Ethereum's glorious past but also to chart the paths for its future, exploring essential themes such as interoperability and open-source development.

7月24日至30日，EDCON 2024将在东京举行，这是由EDCON主任Cy Li和以太坊德大学共同主办的盛会。这次备受期待的聚会将汇集以太坊先驱，包括联合创始人 Joe Lubin 和 Vitalik Buterin，以及以太坊基金会的主要成员。该活动不仅旨在庆祝以太坊辉煌的过去，还为其未来规划道路，探索互操作性和开源开发等基本主题。

Having become an emerging blockchain hub, Tokyo provides the ideal setting for this gathering, within a regulatory environment that is largely conducive to cryptocurrencies. Notably, the University of Tokyo has been offering metaverse courses for two years, highlighting the increasing significance of this technology.

东京已成为新兴的区块链中心，在很大程度上有利于加密货币的监管环境中为这次聚会提供了理想的环境。值得注意的是，东京大学两年来一直提供虚拟实境课程，突显了这项技术日益重要的意义。

The celebrations in Tokyo aim to position Ethereum at the forefront of a culture that embraces both heritage and cutting-edge technologies, thus paving the way for the next wave of blockchain adoption.

东京的庆祝活动旨在将以太坊置于拥抱传统和尖端技术的文化的最前沿，从而为下一波区块链采用铺平道路。

Meanwhile, in San Francisco, several Ethereum companies, including BuildETH and SKALE Network, are preparing to celebrate this memorable anniversary. Being the historical cradle of technological innovation, this dynamic and open metropolis will host a series of festive events to commemorate the impact of Ethereum’s ICO.

与此同时，在旧金山，包括 BuildETH 和 SKALE Network 在内的多家以太坊公司正准备庆祝这一难忘的周年纪念日。作为技术创新的历史摇篮，这座充满活力和开放的大都市将举办一系列节日活动，以纪念以太坊 ICO 的影响。

Noelle Becker Moreno, marketing director at Edge & Node, highlights the importance of bringing the Web3 community together to reflect on the progress made and the future challenges of the Ethereum blockchain.

Edge & Node 营销总监 Noelle Becker Moreno 强调了将 Web3 社区聚集在一起反思以太坊区块链所取得的进展和未来挑战的重要性。

As Ken Fromm, managing director of BuildETH, puts it: “It's an open and social city, appreciated by tech innovators and hackers.” Despite many Web3 developers leaving the Bay Area after the Covid-19 pandemic, San Francisco still remains a stronghold for blockchain companies.

正如 BuildETH 董事总经理 Ken Fromm 所说：“这是一座开放的社交城市，受到技术创新者和黑客的赞赏。”尽管许多 Web3 开发人员在 Covid-19 大流行后离开了湾区，但旧金山仍然是区块链公司的大本营。

The celebration will include networking events, discussions on blockchain evolution, and reflections on upcoming challenges. In sum, these celebrations are a tribute to a decade of blockchain revolution and an anticipation of future innovations.

庆祝活动将包括社交活动、关于区块链演变的讨论以及对即将到来的挑战的思考。总而言之，这些庆祝活动是对十年区块链革命的致敬，也是对未来创新的期待。

For the record, an ICO, or Initial Coin Offering, is a fundraising method by selling digital tokens to finance blockchain-based projects. This practice, popularized by Ethereum, has revolutionized decentralized and transparent financing.

根据记录，ICO（首次代币发行）是一种通过出售数字代币来为基于区块链的项目融资的筹款方法。这种由以太坊推广的做法彻底改变了去中心化和透明的融资方式。
