Below is simply an excerpt from a lengthier report which covers Ethereum more generally: its adoption, DeFi, token distribution, tokenomics, governance, vulnerabilities, roadmap, and more. So, if there are any pieces that feel incomplete or lack context, that may be why. Also, some metrics are outdated. This is because our report is for Premium members of CryptoEQ.io.

Ethereum has been massively successful as an open network and computing platform where software and application developers can collaborate and innovate quickly, easily, and without having to request permission. The Ethereum network has become especially popular for DeFi (decentralized finance), NFTs, DAOs (digital autonomous organizations), and trading. But all of this use of the Ethereum network has led to congestion, high user fees, and surging electricity consumption.

Blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum strive for maximum decentralization and censorship-resistance while remaining totally open and inclusive networks. However, they also want to scale to accommodate billions of users. As they stand right now, their limited capacity to process transactions at the base layer (~7 and ~20 TPS, respectively) are in direct opposition to achieving that goal.
