The post Vitalik Highlights 10 Years of Ethereum’s Unbroken Operation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum co-founder emphasizes network uptime as core mission requirement. Platform achieved 10 years of zero downtime through 16 major upgrades. Vitalik highlights censorship resistance and permissionless access as priorities. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has stressed that maintaining continuous network operation remains central to the blockchain’s mission. He made these statements during Ethereum’s 10th anniversary in a livestream with Ethereum’s core contributors. Buterin emphasized that Ethereum’s purpose of advancing human progress and protecting digital autonomy requires absolute reliability. The network has maintained perfect uptime throughout its decade-long operation and processed billions of transactions while implementing 16 major protocol upgrades. This operational consistency has enabled Ethereum to serve as a foundation for countless applications and innovations that weren’t initially envisioned by the team. Vitalik: Ethereum Must Ensure It Never Goes Down On the occasion of Ethereum’s 10th anniversary, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik shared his hopes and excitement for the next decade during the anniversary livestream.

In the absence of protection, the network would instantaneously lose both its global and permissionless nature. The co-founder recalled the original vision of an open space where developers worldwide could develop applications openly and express themselves. This original objective has facilitated unexpected innovations like NFTs, which Buterin admitted surprised him despite the open nature of the platform.
