V神最近一句话又搅动了整个圈子——「The next step of Ethereum will surprise everyone.」

Who is this guy? The tech mastermind who has been silent for years and suddenly changes the rules with his first move.

Just look at his historical record. Back then, he claimed Ethereum would become a global computer, and many mocked him. What happened later? Before the network merge, he leaked some hints, and the entire market became restless.

Now, here are some key data points:

Energy consumption has been cut by 99.9%, making environmental protection a solid move. The number of active addresses on-chain exceeds 500,000 daily, and the DeFi ecosystem's locked funds have returned to a scale of 40 billion USD. The most impressive is that over 26 million ETH have been staked, accounting for one-fifth of the circulating supply—this is real money from institutions and whales betting on the future.

What big move is he holding back?

**First Variable: Speed Revolution**

Danksharding upgrade is already on the table. The goal is straightforward: increase transaction speed by 100 times, and bring Gas fees close to zero. Testnet data already shows it can handle 100,000 transactions per second. Once implemented, playing blockchain games or minting NFTs will be as smooth as scanning QR codes for payments.

**Second Variable: Ecosystem Reshaping**

Popular projects in the community, from Bored Apes to Uniswap, are almost all rooted in the Ethereum ecosystem. Once the network becomes fast and cheap, millions of users flooding in could happen in just a month or two. Applications that are now criticized for high costs and being unaffordable might really turn around.

During the ecosystem reshaping, projects with a solid community base and good activity—like community engagement, interaction depth, and liquidity—may rise with the tide. The key still depends on fundamentals—community enthusiasm, engagement, liquidity, and other solid indicators.

**Third Variable: Gameplay Reconstruction**

Historical patterns are clear: every major Ethereum upgrade causes market fireworks beforehand. But this time, V神’s "surprise" might not just be price volatility—it could mean a complete change in the gameplay framework.

If ETH really launches this upgrade, will you chase it wholeheartedly or build positions gradually? Which projects in the ecosystem do you see the most potential for?

ETH-0,71%

UNI0,01%

Real gold and silver poured 26 million ETH into staking. These big players probably aren't just playing around. --- Once again, there's a rumor. V神's move is quite clever, knowing how to manipulate market sentiment. --- I've heard about reducing energy consumption by 99.9% many times. The key is how much cost reduction can actually be achieved. --- Gas fees near zero? Feels like every upgrade says that, but in the end, you still have to queue. --- Talking about ecosystem reshaping sounds nice, but in reality, it still depends on who has a solid fundamentals. No one wants to buy low-liquidity projects even if they're cheap. --- If Danksharding truly lands and millions of users flood in, those small projects lurking now might really have a chance. --- Every major upgrade promises "this time is different." I just watch, but no matter what, the drop is always fierce. --- The surge in staking volume is indeed a good sign, indicating that big players are betting on this upgrade. --- A 100x speed increase sounds great, but the network complexity also rises. Who will bear the bug risks? --- Projects like Bored Apes and Uniswap have long been guaranteed winners. The real focus is on the performance of mid-tier ecosystem projects.

Here we go again with the storytelling. Every time Vitalik says something, the market starts to hype up, so annoying. Gas fees dropping close to zero? I've heard this promise too many times, buddy. Let's wait until it actually happens. Right now, it's all futures market. Can Danksharding really boost speed by 100 times? That sounds a bit exaggerated. Eco projects rising with the tide? Nice words, but isn't it just the prelude to cutting leeks? Staking 26 million ETH is indeed a signal, but that doesn't mean the price will definitely go up. Build positions gradually; anyway, betting on technological upgrades is a long-term thing. Is it enough for the testnet to handle 100,000 transactions? Mainnet deployment is another matter. I also don't have much faith in bored ape projects; the fundamentals really aren't that strong. Chain games feeling like QR code payments? How can that analogy be so off? Do you even understand blockchain?

This time it's really a bit different; I didn't expect a 99.9% reduction in energy consumption. Wait, 26 million ETH staked? That's a crazy number, institutions are really all in. If gas fees drop close to zero, the old projects should indeed take off, but the prerequisite is that Danksharding can really be implemented. V God is probably just throwing a water balloon again, haha. Honestly, I prefer projects with real interactions; purely hype projects like bored apes are probably just that. If this upgrade really happens, how can retail investors keep up?

Here we go again, here we go again, V God’s mouth really can trigger a market rally. Instead of guessing what big move he's holding back, why not wait and see who in the ecosystem can truly seize this wave of opportunity? If Danksharding really gets implemented and gas fees drop to the price of Guizhou dishes... that will be the real test of the project's fundamentals.

To be honest, every time V God opens his mouth, he's often overestimated, but the 99.9% energy consumption reduction data doesn't lie. Are we going to have another round? Feels like every day it's about upgrades, will it really happen this time? I would only believe gas fees dropping close to zero, but right now they are still ridiculously high.

Still hyping up, V God is tired of this routine But the 26 million ETH staked data really can't hold up If gas fees can really drop close to zero, I will go all in Let's wait until Danksharding is truly implemented, they're hyping it too much now Is Uniswap this wave stable? Or continue to buy the dip in USDC Honestly, I haven't decided whether to buy in batches or go all in, just waiting for a big drop

Here we go again, V God just knows how to keep us hanging Wait, can Danksharding really be implemented? Feels like just pie in the sky If gas fees really drop to a few cents, all those shitcoins will be doomed The 26 million ETH staked is shocking, big players are betting on this wave It's called an accident in a nice way, but actually it's just waiting for the right moment But to be honest, without real community support, even the fastest network is useless Every upgrade before caused a panic, which is a signal to cut leeks; building positions gradually is the right move
