This article reviews the breakthrough development of 2024 and looks forward to the development trend that blockchain technology may usher in the coming year.
Let us understand the milestones, trends and forecasts of shaping the next era of cryptocurrencies.
1. Review: 2024 crypto technology milestone monument
Ethereum’s Duncun upgrade: Ethereum in 2024 ushered in the most important network upgrade so far.Ethereum launched the Cancun-Deneb (Dencun) upgrade, which is a milestone improvement, aiming to enhance scalability and reduce data costs, marking a key step in network evolution.Duncun introduces Proto-Danksharding, which is a mechanism to reduce the cost of reducing the cost of the second level by simplifying data usability and improving transaction throughput.Although these changes have caused great controversy, they aim to benefit developers and pave the way for further innovation of the Ethereum route map and consolidate their position as a leading smart contract platform.
Solana lock value: Solana’s DEFI TVL has reached a total lock value (TVL) for the first time in three years, and its DEFI ecosystem is undergoing further growth.This achievement reflects the improvement of user participation and the expansion of centralized applications on the platform.The institutional adoption and major integration greatly promoted this growth.Financial giants such as Franklin and French Industrial Bank used Solana to carry out token -based asset projects.Solana has also expanded its influence. Robinhood adds SOL to its trading platform.
Quantum computing alarm clock: Google’s progress in quantum computing, especially its revolutionary quantum chip, sounds alarm clock in the encrypted community, reminding people to pay attention to the potential threat of the safety of the blockchain.This chip can solve the problem that traditional computers cannot solve, which once again trigger a controversy on Bitcoin’s relying on traditional encryption methods and a wider impact on the encrypted ecosystem.Experts emphasize that it is necessary to transition to anti -quantum encryption to protect cryptocurrencies from the infringement of future vulnerabilities.Although the current quantum computers cannot destroy the blockchain network, Google’s progress highlights the necessity of adopting active measures to ensure long -term security and elasticity of digital assets.
The second layer of adoption is soaring:As ARBITRUM, OPTIMISM, and Base projects play a key role in solving the scalability challenges of Ethereum, the second floor adoption rate has soared.Arbitrum continues to dominate the second -level ecosystem, and the transaction volume exceeds 1 billion, which is due to its strong development personnel support and DEFI integration.OPTIMISM continues to use its OP Stack technology to expand its influence. This technology realizes the modularized second -layer solution and promotes the cooperation of the entire ecosystem through super chain integration with OPTIMISM.Base is the second -level project hatched by Coinbase. It uses Coinbase’s extensive user base and entrance to obtain significant appeal. Franklin Dunpon became the first asset management company to launch a token fund fund on the network.
DEFI leaders conduct innovation:AAVE has become the focus of the new fund launched by GrayScale Investments in October. Through traditional investment tools, it provides institutions and qualified investors with its investment opportunities for governance tokens (AAVE); Uniswap Labs announced the launch of Unichain, which is an OP based OPTIMISM OP.The decentralized Layer-2 blockchain built by Stack is designed to improve transaction speed, reduce costs, and improve cross-chain interoperability. It is planned to launch the main network in 2025; as part of its Endgame Plan, MakerDao is renamed Sky and launched it to launch.New governance (SKY) and stable currency (USDS), autonomous “Sky Stars”, currency tightening token economics, and roadmap from MKR to SKY tokens.
2. Emerging trends in 2025
-
AI X blockchain:The integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain will completely change authentication, prediction analysis, and intelligent contract automation -and are expected to reduce the negative effects of artificial intelligence.
-
Supervised cryptocurrency center:Judicial jurisdictions such as Hong Kong, Dubai and Singapore position themselves as cryptocurrency -friendly innovation centers to attract startups and institutional investors.
-
Mutuality becomes the focus:The cross -chain agreement will dominate the development of seamless assets between blockchain ecosystems.
3. Focus on developers in 2024
Electric Capital Developer Report: The report emphasizesThe continuous growth of blockchain development,The number of active developers increased by 35%.Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Base, and Polygon show their strong developer communities.Solana is the biggest factor that attracts new developers. In 2024, it attracted 7,625 new developers, surpassing Ethereum.Solana’s attraction stems from its low cost, fast transaction and many Memecoin, making it a powerful competitor in the field of smart contracts.
4. It is worth paying attention to in 2025
Ethereum’s PECTRA upgrade: Ethereum’s upcoming PECTRA upgrades are divided into two stages, namely Prager and Electra to ensure that the key improvements of consensus and execution layers are successfully launched.The Electra phase will improve the efficiency of the verification device, enhance network security, and introduce the improvement of the exit management mechanism of an improved authentication.
Extended solutions: ZK-Rollups and modular blockchain will promote the next wave of scalability to ensure a smoother user experience.Zero knowledge proves that it is becoming a reform technology that can enhance privacy and efficiency. At the same time, it has paved the way for the blockchain network to seamlessly expand without damage to the decentralized future.
Decentralization Identity: The rise of decentralized identity solutions may redefine the method of interaction with the web3 platform and emphasize privacy and ownership.These systems use blockchain technology to allow users to control their personal data and enable them to verify their identity without relying on centralized institutions.
5. Conclusion
In 2024, it laid the foundation for the next chapter of cryptocurrencies. Breakthroughs in scalability, DEFI, and security will shape the future of change.
