Ethereum has evolved into an Internet-scale infrastructure layer. Just like the Internet itself, its resilience and growth depend on a decentralized ecosystem of global participants—not just one entity.

Client development teams maintain the network's core. Researchers push protocol boundaries forward. Security auditors rigorously test for vulnerabilities. Standards bodies align on technical specifications. Open-source developers contribute across the stack. Educators onboard newcomers and bridge knowledge gaps. Each role is essential.

This distributed model of contributors—from cryptographers to DevOps engineers to community advocates—is what gives Ethereum its staying power. The network's strength isn't concentrated in any single point, which makes it genuinely resilient.

Sounds good, but honestly, how many people are really building seriously? Most are probably just here to make quick money.

Decentralization sounds great, but the reality is that a few major nodes still hold the say.

No exaggeration or criticism, this trap of decentralization really relies on a group of people to work hard, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago.

Decentralization sounds beautiful, but how many can really roll up their sleeves and get to work? Most people are still just watching the show.
