Ethereum Surges Past $3000 Again, EF Releases New Ecosystem Development Strategy, Focusing on Global Financial Infrastructure

Original Article Title: "Ethereum Foundation Announces 'Ecosystem Development Plan': Two Ultimate Goals, Four Key Areas, Sprinting Towards a Trillion-Dollar Security Layer  "

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) released an official blog post on July 9 titled "The Future of Ecosystem Development at the EF," once again reaffirming two main visions and outlining four key focus areas of the Foundation, aiming to truly establish Ethereum as the core infrastructure of the global financial network.

Two Main Goals: Expand Adoption and Strengthen Resilience  

The article points out that this EcoDev (Ecosystem Development) strategy first targets "maximizing adoption" and "maximizing resilience." The former will reduce the adoption barriers for the masses and enterprises through education, optimized UI/UX, and enterprise-level templates. For example, after integrating the Starbucks Odyssey project with the Enterprise Toolkit, on-chain gas fees decreased by 40%. The latter focuses on "Trillion-Dollar Security (1TS)," multi-client implementations, and high-intensity security audits to ensure the network's risk resistance.

Four Key Areas: From Acceleration to Troubleshooting  

To drive the goals, EF will allocate resources to four main domains:  

1. Ecosystem Acceleration: Four specialized teams responsible for enterprise relations, developer growth, and decentralized application support to assist startup initiatives in rapid growth.

2. Ecosystem Amplification: The Digital Studio uses content storytelling; Ethereum Everywhere plans global events; EcoDev Automation introduces AI automation to enhance promotional efficiency.

3. Ecosystem Support: The Ethereum Support Program and Strategic Funding Plan provide grants, Launchpad incubates projects, allowing them to accumulate experience even in the case of failure.

4. Long-Term Ecosystem Unblocking: The team will coordinate with policymakers, such as EU MiCA and Hong Kong licensing, while deepening academic collaborations to address long-standing obstacles.

It is reported that the average daily fee on the Ethereum network has dropped by 35% this year, but enterprise contract deployment has surged by 70%, indicating a rapid rise in enterprise demand. Experts analyze that this announcement is seen as the Ethereum Foundation's response to dual pressures of regulation and competition.

Convergence Situation and Ongoing Observations

It is worth noting that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) and the newly established Ethereum Community Foundation have different roles: the former focuses on in-depth public infrastructure development, while the latter concentrates on ETH market value growth. Whether the two can achieve synergies greater than the sum of their parts in the future is something we should continue to observe.

Furthermore, from a macro perspective, the U.S. tax cut policy is expected to unleash more venture capital, providing ignition for Ethereum to sprint towards the trillion-dollar security layer. Whether the ultimate goal can be achieved will also depend on whether the Ethereum ecosystem can synchronize and resonate on the three axes of "faster, safer, and more user-friendly."
