The Ethereum Foundation announced the "Ecosystem Development Plan": two ultimate goals, four key areas, striving for a trillion-dollar security layer.

The Ethereum Foundation published an article reiterating its two major visions and outlined four key areas of focus, aiming to truly build Ethereum as the core infrastructure of the global financial network. (Background: Bankless discusses "The Duality of Ethereum": the potential for big pump and reasons for market disappointment) (Background: Ethereum has suffered for a long time; can the new "Community Foundation" reignite ETH faith?) Ethereum Foundation (EF) published an official blog post on July 9 titled "The Future of Ecosystem Development at the EF", reiterating its two major visions and outlining four key areas of focus, aiming to truly build Ethereum as the core infrastructure of the global financial network. Two Major Goals: Increase Usage and Strengthen Resilience The article points out that the EcoDev (Ecosystem Development) strategy first targets "maximizing usage" and "maximizing resilience". The former will lower the adoption threshold for the public and enterprises through education, optimizing UI/UX, and enterprise-level templates. For example, after Starbucks' Odyssey project introduced the Enterprise Toolkit, on-chain fuel fees dropped by 40%. The latter focuses on "trillion-dollar security (1TS)", diverse clients, and high-intensity security audits to ensure the network's risk resistance. Four Key Areas: From Acceleration to Unblocking To drive the goals forward, the EF allocates resources to four main areas: Ecosystem Acceleration (Ecosystem Acceleration): Four professional teams are responsible for corporate relations, developer growth, and decentralized application support, assisting startup projects to grow rapidly. Ecosystem Amplification (Ecosystem Amplification): Digital Studio tells stories through content; Ethereum Everywhere plans global events; EcoDev Automation introduces AI automation to enhance promotion efficiency. Ecosystem Support (Ecosystem Support): The Ethereum Support Program and strategic funding plan provide grants, and the Launchpad incubates projects, allowing for experience accumulation even in failure. Long-Term Ecosystem Unblocking (Long-Term Ecosystem Unblocking): The team will coordinate with policymakers, such as the EU MiCA and Hong Kong licenses, while deepening academic collaboration to clear long-term obstacles. It is understood that since the beginning of this year, Ethereum's average transaction fees have dropped by 35%, but the number of enterprise contract deployments has surged by 70%, indicating that enterprise demand is rapidly rising. Experts analyze that this announcement is seen as EF's response to the dual pressures of regulation and competition. Competitive Landscape and Subsequent Observations Notably, the EF and the newly established Ethereum Community Foundation have different roles: the former focuses on public infrastructure, while the latter concentrates on ETH market capitalization growth. Whether the two can achieve a 1+1 greater than 2 effect in the future is worth our continued observation. Additionally, from a macro perspective, the US tax reduction policy is expected to unleash more risk capital, providing fuel for Ethereum's sprint toward trillion-dollar security levels. Whether the ultimate goal can be achieved still depends on whether the Ethereum ecosystem can synchronize resonance along the three axes of "faster, safer, easier to use".
