What is this?
The canonical settlement layer. Where institutional capital, major protocol governance, and the highest-value transactions settle. Slow to change, deep in trust.
Ethereum is a global, decentralized platform for money and new kinds of applications. On Ethereum, you control your own money, data, and identity. No bank, no middleman, no permission needed.

The Builder Economy
A new economic layer is forming around independent builders — new funding models, new coordination primitives, new ways for communities to back the people building the future.
