Five Years of Ethereum: From a Teenage Dream to a 38B Blockchain
Five Years of Ethereum: From a Teenage Dream to a $38B Blockchain
How far has the Ethereum blockchain come in the five years since its inception? We explore key developments, changes and challenges.
It would seem that five years is a relatively short time for an information technology company,
but Ethereum has made colossal progress during this time, growing from its own initial coin offering project to the largest blockchain platform, running about 2,000 decentralized applications. Today, the market capitalization of its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH), is worth $38 billion — larger than Ford Motor Company and the popular app Snapchat. Not only that, but the value of Ether has seen a 121-fold increase over the period of the network’s existence. While the whole team is preparing for the transition to the proof-of-stake consensus algorithm ahead of the upcoming Berlin upgrade, Cointelegraph recalls the striking changes that have occurred to the platform over the five years since its launch, and the failures that have only toughened its resolve.
2013/2014: An idea to an $18 million crowdsale
Ethereum was invented by Vitalik Buterin, a Canadian programmer of Russian descent. It was 2013, and Buterin was just an 18-year-old teenager, but his idea found a lively response in the global blockchain community. Later, Gavin Wood, a British computer programmer, proved the possibility of creating the system invented by Buterin and described the basic principles of its operation in the Ethereum “Yellow Paper.” Together with the first members of the Ethereum team, they launched a crowdsale and raised $18 million for the project’s development.
2015: Network launch and exchange listing
The first version of the Ethereum cryptocurrency protocol, called Frontier, was launched on July 30, 2015. But the security level the system boasted back then was far from what Ethereum is today. The launch of Frontier marked an important milestone in the history of the network, after which the developers immediately started working with smart contracts and creating DApps on the real blockchain. The first existing historical record of Ether’s price is from Aug. 7, 2015, when ETH was added to the Kraken crypto exchange at $2.77 per coin. Over its first three days of trading, its price dropped to a demeaning $0.68, most likely under the influence of rapid sales by early investors. In the second half of the year, droves of crypto enthusiasts rushed to learn what they could about Ethereum. A particularly significant contribution to its popularization was made by the DEVCON-1 developer conference, which was held from Nov. 9 to 13. The event sparked intense discussions on the development of Ethereum, with the participation of representatives from IBM, Microsoft and UBS.
2016: The DAO, hackers and Ethereum split
At the beginning of 2016, the price of Ether rose rapidly, fueled by news of the upcoming launch of a network protocol with a more stable version: Homestead. As a result, ETH reached its first serious high of $15 per coin on March 13, with the platform’s market cap exceeding the boastful $1 billion mark. On March 14, Homestead went live, which made its blockchain officially secure through new protocols and network changes (EIP-2, EIP-7 and EIP-8), making future updates possible. More specifically, the network protection became based on mining, which was planned only for the initial stage of development with subsequent transition to PoS with a hybrid model at an intermediate stage. At the same time, exuberant requirements for video memory acted as protection against the use of ASIC miners.
The next event, which brought the price of Ether to its highest value that year — $21 — was the widespread media coverage of the dizzying success of The DAO project, which raised more than 12 million ETH ($150 million at the time ) in May. The DAO — an acronym for decentralized autonomous organization — was one of the pioneers of the upcoming ICO era and chose Ethereum as its launchpad to raise investments. However, on June 16, using a vulnerability in The DAO’s code, unknown hackers stole about $60 million in ETH from the project. News of the attack sliced the price of ETH in half to $11. Buterin offered to return the stolen funds by conducting a hard fork to restore the network to its pre-attack state. Following a controversial hard fork held on July 20, the network split into two: Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. On Sept. 22, Ethereum suffered another blow: The network was subjected to a distributed denial-of-service attack, significantly slowing its operations. The news became an impetus for the beginning of a local downtrend in the curbed price, which began consolidating in the $7–$9 range by the end of the year. Two unplanned hard forks were then carried out to improve the resilience of the network and rectify the consequences of the DDoS attack.
2017: ICO boom
Ether’s price experienced a meteoric rise at the start of 2017 as the cryptocurrency was added to the eToro platform on Feb. 23. Around the same time, the number of unconfirmed transactions on the Bitcoin network had reached 200,000, causing an increasing number of crypto investors and miners to opt for Ether as an alternative investment. On May 6, the price of ETH set a new bar of $95 per coin. The popularity of Ethereum grew rapidly in the crypto community and among DApp developers. The initial coin offering hype also contributed to the increased demand for Ether, as thousands of projects opted to fundraise in ETH. By Sept. 1, the price of Ethereum had almost reached a whopping $400, but news of China banning ICOs and crypto trading quickly slashed it to nearly $220. The price gradually recovered by mid-October after the release of the Byzantium network upgrade, which took place on Sept. 18. Along with the growth of the ICO bubble, in which Ether was still the main means of payment, ETH reached nearly $800 by the end of the year.
2018: Ethereum at $1,400 and a bearish trend
The beginning of 2018 turned out to be even more successful for Ethereum than the previous one. On Jan. 13, the price of Ether reached its all-time high of around $1,400. But the ICO rush, which had triggered the rapid growth of Ethereum’s price in 2017, came to an end. Throughout 2018, its echoes played a cruel joke on Ether as thousands of ICO projects sold their savings, meaning that ETH dropped even faster than the rest of the market. In early September, news of the Constantinople hard fork — expected in November — slowed the drop in the price and injected positive sentiment into the community. However, the network upgrade was delayed. Influenced by inter-bearish sentiments on the crypto market and pending updates, the price fell to $85, dropping from the second-largest to the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization behind XRP.
2019: Technical works, update delays and popularity of DAOs
Many aspects spiraled out of the control of developers over the year as they were actively engaged in conducting technical work on the network. Meanwhile, the community lost count of the number of upgrades carried out. In January, the technical roadmap gained clarity as difficult engineering problems were solved and the Ethereum development community continued to grow. DeFi became the largest sector within Ethereum, and the market saw early signs of growth in gaming and decentralized autonomous organizations. At the beginning of 2019, the only DeFi protocol with significant funds was MakerDAO, which had a total of 1.86 million ETH ($260.4 million at the time). The playing field became much more diverse by the end of the year when new participants rushed into the industry.
On Feb. 28, the Constantinople hard fork took place on the Ethereum network, which prepared it for the transition to the Casper PoS protocol and the abolition of the previous mining model. However, the eighth upgrade, called Istanbul — which initially had been scheduled for Dec. 4 — was delayed and activated on the Ethereum mainnet on Dec. 8. Among the main objectives of Istanbul were ensuring the compatibility of the Ethereum blockchain with the anonymous Zcash (ZEC) cryptocurrency and increasing the scalability of the network through SNARKs and STARKs zero-knowledge-proof protocols. In addition, the update made it difficult to carry out denial-of-service attacks on the network due to the change in the cost of gas needed for launching operating codes.
The progress of Ethereum 2.0 laid the foundation for the world’s largest corporations to start using the Ethereum blockchain. In July, Samsung released a software kit for Ethereum developers, six months after it was revealed that the development of its new phone included a built-in Ethereum wallet. Another large partnership involved internet browser Opera, which had launched an Ethereum-supported Android wallet at the end of 2018 and announced a built-in Ethereum wallet for iOS users in early 2019. Meanwhile, Microsoft continued its involvement with the Ethereum ecosystem. In May, the company released the Azure Blockchain Development Kit to support Ethereum development. In October, it backed a tokenized incentive system from the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance for use within enterprise consortiums. And in November, it launched Azure Blockchain Tokens, a service that lets enterprises issue their own tokens on Ethereum.
2020: The DeFi boom and PoS
In the first half of 2020, Ethereum — famous for its numerous conferences and meetups — was forced to postpone all activity due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, the team managed to make significant progress in solving the scalability issue, with the launch of the final Ethereum 2.0 testnet scheduled for Aug. 4. The developers hope that once the upgrade is complete, the Ethereum network will become faster, cheaper and more scalable without compromising decentralization and network flexibility. Meanwhile, the blockchain network continues to grow, as activity in the decentralized finance market has increased significantly. According to Dapp.com, the daily volume of value transferred via DeFi applications reached an all-time high of $1.8 billion on July 2. During the second quarter, a record $4.9 billion was moved through DeFi applications — a 67% growth when compared with the previous quarter — while the number of active users of Ethereum applications reached 1,258,527, an increase of 97%.

Deciding to Launch an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) - https://gostamina.com/2019/06/17/deciding-to-launch-an-ico-initial-coin-offering/
New Post has been published on https://gostamina.com/2019/06/17/deciding-to-launch-an-ico-initial-coin-offering/
Deciding to Launch an ICO (Initial Coin Offering)
When a company wants to expand and is in need of funds, it can raise money through various efforts such as crowdfunding methods or crowdsales. In recent years, blockchain technology has given rise to the Initial Coin Offering (ICO).
What Is an Initial Coin Offering?
In an ICO, instead of an investor receiving a company share as in an IPO, he or she receives a cryptocurrency token. It is the new age strategy for sourcing for funds, especially by startup blockchain-based companies that need more funds to execute their plans.
The ICO involves the company drawing up plans for a project, and the virtual populace determines whether it would be lucrative enough to invest in the project. In the ICO plan, there will be a rough calculation of how many tokens the company plans to take for itself.
The Appeal of an ICO
Just as the charm of an IPO partially resides in the rise in the value of the company’s shares, the charm of an ICO partially lies in the potential rise of the value of the tokens that investors buy with fiat money. If the startup cryptocurrency company is able to get as much popularity as it projects, an early investor can stand to gain a lot.
Steps to Launch an Initial Coin Offering
There are a few steps involved in launching an initial coin offering. You would need to come up with a company and an idea. Then, write the whitepaper, get legal opinions from experts on the terms and conditions, and build a team. Then, create the token; there are many platforms where you can do this; take Ethereum, for example. Additionally, create awareness for your upcoming ICO on media platforms. Finally, get your coin out on coin exchange platforms. Of course, for all of these steps, you will need initial funding.
What This Means for the World
You can rapidly create an Initial Coin Offering and raise capital. Given the rapid rate at which startup companies need to raise funds, the chances are that the Initial Coin Offerings will become more popular.

MyWish Seeks to Become First Provider of EOS Smart Contracts
With a market cap of just under US$7 billion, EOS is the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by valuation. Despite its massive valuation, its recent mainnet launch has been riddled with failures and shortcomings. However, it may soon see a boost in legitimacy thanks to the capabilities set to be provided through the MyWish Smart Contract platform.
In their July 24 weekly development report, the MyWish team shared exciting plans to enable smart contract creation on the EOS network. This initiative’s development is already underway, and it’s estimated to be 7% complete at the time of report. This achievement will make EOS the fourth blockchain on which contracts can be created through MyWish, alongside Ethereum, Bitcoin, and NEO.
MyWish has been quietly growing as a leading smart contract builder, whose services currently span about a dozen contracts on three blockchains. For individuals, inheritance, marriage, and deferred payment contracts can be made for a small payment via MyWish through a simple interface. For businesses, MyWish offers token creation, crowdsale, and airdrop contracts. MyWish can also be used to create decentralized investment pools. These contracts carry fees of around 2 ETH each, and these payments are used by the team to purchase MyWish from exchanges.
While there have been over 1,500 contracts created so far, with new contracts added every several weeks, MyWish remains under the radar, with a current market cap of approximately US$1.4 million and a token price of under $0.08, more than 65% down from its ICO. However, supporters suggest that MyWish’s enabling EOS contracts will generate huge support from the massive EOS community. The current deadlines suggest that this development will be completed within two months. The MyWish team has been notoriously timely, meeting or exceeding every single deadline since its creation in late 2017.
The exact functionalities of the upcoming EOS contract builder have not been revealed, but the team has indicated that it will create new uses specifically for EOS. In the team’s own words, “MyWish will definitely be the first contract builder for EOS.”
Additionally, the team is turning their focus to new marketing initiatives. Marketing campaigns targeting members of both the wider cryptocurrency community and the general public are beginning to unfold across many mediums. Team members will also be speaking at multiple conferences, and talks of a partnership with Lindsey Lohan and her charity foundation have also been unveiled.
When this development comes to fruition, the simple smart contract capabilities for EOS will be much-needed proof of the legitimacy of a network that has thus far been plagued by criticism from the greater crypto community. For EOS, this will surely provide much-needed exposure to a project that, despite its many great developments, remains overlooked by many.

Token
ARAW is an ERC20 token that fuels the ARAW ecosystem across the e-commerce and payments industry. The token will be issued in an upcoming ICO, and the number of tokens that will ever be created is capped at 5 billion. The token can also be used as a rewards mechanism by retailers for their customers. ARAW boasts a token-fueled rewards platform for which there is an open API. The rewards program is unique in that rewards aren’t points and don’t expire, making them more attractive to customers and ultimately bolstering the value of the coin. The company already has customers using its rewards system off-chain, and the plan is to migrate them to the token-fueled decentralized platform. ARAW also plans a bounty program airdrop for which 150 million tokens are earmarked. Token distribution is as follows: ARAW ICO Details Token Type: ERC20 Platform: Ethereum Symbol: ARAW Pre-ICO: July 1 Public Crowdsale: TBD Token Supply: 5,000,000,000 Tokens Available for Sale: 3,500,000,000 Soft Cap: $2,000,000 Hard Cap: $25,000,000 Price: 1 ARAW = $0.01 Minimum Purchase: 0.1 ETH Payment Methods: ETH
Growth Opportunity
Investors who are interested in the ARAW token sale must go through the know-your-customer process. This involves white-list registration and providing any required information to prove your identity. The fact that ARAW is pursuing regulatory compliance in the jurisdictions in which it plans to operate is a positive in an environment that is moving closer toward global regulation. ARAW is in discussions with exchanges to list its ARAW token. While the startup declines to identify these trading platforms until it’s a done deal, the fact that the discussions are under way is a positive sign for traders who are interested in the project, as it will provide liquidity. Plus there is a bounty program and airdrop on the roadmap. ARAW has the benefit of experience with two years of operations under its belt. The ICO is designed to fund an expansion, one that involves a move to a decentralized platform on the Ethereum network as well as a 2020 push into the U.S. and Asia. Despite the competition, ARAW is a participant in a robust payment and e-commerce space, the latter of which is projected to reach $4.5 trillion in sales in the next three years, according to the ARAW white paper. ARAW also cites another statistic, which is that “10% of the world’s GDP will be created on the blockchain by 20205.” All of these market statistics help to make the case for another e-commerce and payment platform.
Team
ARAW boasts a deep bench of seasoned banking professionals who are alumni of firms like Barclays, JPMorgan, Capital One and more.
Krutesh Shah is at the helm as co-founder and CEO. He’s a banking industry alum at major investment banks including BNP Paribas and Barclays. This experience should serve him well with the company’s migration to the blockchain. He brings the financial tools while ARAW CTO Carlo Pascoli brings the technical experience, having been part of engineering teams at “Shazam, IG and Thomson Reuters.” Pascoli boasts experience with developing mobile apps and distributed systems and is a believer in decentralization. ARAW’s management team extends to an experienced advisory team comprised of more than half-a-dozen e-commerce and blockchain professionals whose guidance is likely to result in a successful move to the Ethereum network.

Beyond the ICO Part 2: Regulation Breeds Specialization
Beyond the ICO Part 2: Regulation Breeds Specialization
Fraudulent ICOs have stolen billions in investor capital,
damaging market sentiment and capturing negative attention from strong-handed regulators around the world. There’s no doubt that the shape of ICOs is changing–but what role will regulators play in the future development of the ICO model? As market participants begin to adapt to exit scams, a set of de facto requirements have emerged that ICOs must follow to succeed—rules that government regulators have begun to adopt while a legal scaffold is quickly constructed around the out-of-control ICO industry. In this three-part series, CryptoSlate will assess the current state of the ICO ecosystem, analyze the regulatory shift that is making the “traditional” ICO model untenable and take a look beyond the ICO at the future of a decentralized capital generation.
The ICO is Dead. Long Live the ICO
The hand that will drive the final nail into the coffin of the traditional ICO model is directly attached to the arm of regulation. Upcoming regulatory changes to the definition of what constitutes a security will see scores of the ICO ecosystem fall to the tyranny of financial watchdogs–which is, in some cases, necessary. The core appeal of the ICO model, which democratizes access to growth capital, is how it opens up participation in the market of ideas to anyone, anywhere–free from restrictions such as the U.S. SEC’s limitation on pre-IPO sales to “accredited investors.” A small oversight, however, is arguably necessary to safeguard the interests of ICO investors.
ICO regulation hinges on the separation of the sale of utility tokens, which provide investors with access to future products or services, and security tokens, which represent ownership of an asset, with functionally equivalent to equity or debt. The SEC’s position on ICOs, however, appears to place all tokens sold in ICOs in the latter category and, therefore, under the jurisdiction of the SEC.
As expressed by SEC Chairman Jay Clayton in April:
“I believe every ICO I’ve seen is a security”
Regulators are Stepping in—and Why That’s a Good Thing
If the SEC does not step in to “stop the fraudsters,” states Clayton, there is a serious risk that the regulatory response to fraudulent platforms will be so severe that they will restrict the capacity of the entire crypto asset class. The SEC, it appears, will no longer tolerate the “wild west” environment of the ICO ecosystem. While the SEC has recently softened its stance on ICOs, it’s clear that the classification and regulation of ICOs are soon to change. At the Yahoo Finance All Market Summit: Crypto in San Francisco, June 14, the SEC’s corporate finance division head, William Hinman, admitted that it’s possible for a token sold as a security offering, as defined by the SEC,
to be reclassified:
“Can a digital asset originally sold in a securities offering eventually be sold in something other than a security? How about cases when there’s no longer a company? I believe in those cases answer is a qualified yes.”
According to SEC, cryptocurrencies that lack a centralized governing body and operate in a similar manner to commodities like Ethereum or Bitcoin are definitely not securities. Tokens sold in crowdsales that function as investments, however, unequivocally are. If a decentralized blockchain-based growth capital generation is to continue to thrive, a paradigm shift in the structure and execution of ICOs is essential.

P2P Prediction Market Platform Augur is to Launch Its Main Network
Augur, a peer-to-peer prediction market platform, that was one of the first ICOs in the history on the Ethereum blockchain, is all set to launch its main network on July 9th. In 2015, Augur offered its token REP for a crowdsale and successfully raised $5.5 million. Since that time the team has been working on the development of their platform.
The platform will enable users to create prediction markets that have proven to be more accurate than individuals or even small groups of experts at forecasting event results and consequences. Users have an opportunity to create markets for an event. Each event has a designated reporter and as a result, traders can purchase shares taking decisions on the base of the probable outcomes. When the event is over, the settlement fees are paid out proportionally according to the outcome.
The developers have incorporated a conflict resolution model to the platform which is aimed at encouraging REP token holders to correct any misinformation to ensure the accuracy of all the information provided. All the processes on the platform are conducted in a peer-to-peer manner without any centralization.
Prediction markets are considered to be a very effective tool for making decisions as they let to generate information from the knowledge and experience of the crowd. Nevertheless, when we speak about traditional decision making, the information is taken from a single source. And in such a situation, the results can be obviously less reliable and trustworthy.
As many people will have an opportunity to contribute to the project and bet on an outcome, it will lead to more efficient decision making. Moreover, people will get money for their unique insights which is a good incentive for them. Such an effective prediction market platform can help companies, scientific researchers, government organizations, and other institutions to be better prepared for the future.
After the launch of the main network, the current smart contract that holds the REP tokens will be frozen. And all the balances will be migrated to a new smart contract which will be done automatically. The company expects to complete the migration just in a few hours after the launch.
Nevertheless, those token holders who keep their deposits on decentralized exchanges need to withdraw their holdings to a centralized exchange or to a wallet. It will ensure successful migration. Users who don’t keep their tokens on decentralized exchanges do not need to do any preparatory work. It was known already in May, and CoinSpeaker has also already written about the upcoming launch of Augur.
The project has decided to launch its bug bounty which is to be managed by a San Francisco based security startup called HackerOne. Users who will fix some critical vulnerabilities on the platform will have a chance to get a reward up to $200,000.
The official launch of Augur is undoubtedly one of the most important events not only for the Augur team but for the entire ecosystem.

ASKfm Conquers New Peaks: Next Stop, the Moon
Bitcoin has had an impressive sprint, and now ICOs are joining the list. Having been ready to provide the next best return on investment, but not all will make it through to the finish line, leave alone make it to the moon. The race to take the next big ICO to the moon is on!
Recently, four mountaineering enthusiasts embarked on a tremendous challenge to scale the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest. Standing at 8,848 meters, only 4,833 people have ever made it to the summit, while another 288 have succumbed in the attempt.
As part of the project and expedition, the team raised the ASKfm flag and two Ledgers, to which ASKfm tokens (ASKT) are credited. This act makes it possible to honestly state that the ASKT is literally the “highest token in the world”, the token “closest to the moon”, and ASKfm can conquer new peaks.’
Out of the four mountaineers in the 2018 expedition, two members: Ira Galai (an honoree in the Ukraine Guinness Book of Records), and Taras Pozdnii (who was writing a diary on his FB page in Russian language) suffered from snow blindness and minor freeze burns at the peak, and have recovered since then.
The Highest Token in the World, Literally!
ASKfm has been working on creating a high-loaded blockchain-based Q&A platform. Once completed, the platform will work as an extension to ASKfm’s already existing network. To be successful at tokenizing social interactions, ASKfm will be introducing a new token out of conceptual necessity. These tokens will be made available to the public during the upcoming token sale. In addition, ASKfm is also launching a content at the beginning of the crowdsale wherein the early contributors stand to win the ASKT tokens hidden in the ledger up on the Mount Everest.
The most ambitious investors will be contesting for the first Ledger containing 500,000 ASKT (valued at approximately $50k), hidden on the Everest peak.
youtube
Slogan: Aiming for New Heights.
The mountaineering expedition and its message have a close correlation with ASKfm’s initiative. The platform, just like the highest point on Earth sets a new bar for cryptocurrencies. Armed with a strong identity and a use case, ASKfm has just proved to the crypto-market that they are worth investing in, even before they get listed on all major exchanges for public trading. They put their token at the top rather than relying on dubious tactics commonly used by a majority of the blockchain projects to raise funds.
ASKfm ICO is shooting for the moon. The ICO will oversee a transfer of 215 million registered users hailing from more than 168 countries, that’s 49 different languages, to the crypto market. This planned migration will make this ICO the single most substantial mass introduction to the future. Playing out a scenario for the well-known ‘To the Moon’ meme in the crypto community; What’s the closest starting point to reach the moon? That will be Mt. Everest, to be followed by a huge demand that could soon make ASKT’s value surge upwards.
Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth. ASKfm is technologically and ideologically superior to every other crypto. When it hits the market, it’ll take its rightful place at the very top. Higher than the world, they are already making a statement with a successfully tokenized Mt. Everest.
Everest tokenized.
The term “tokenized Mt. Everest” is a clickbait, since everyone seemingly claims to tokenize anything. ASKfm, on the other hand, is doing something fun and original with their tokens. They are holding a massive giveaway of their token –ASKT- that have been on Mt. Everest’s summit. Well, this is not tokenizing Mt. Everest, but ‘Everesting’ tokens.
The ASKfm crowdsale is a promising ICO of 2018. The pace and outcome of this ICO will be rewarding to all its contributors. The pre-sale and main token sale dates remain unconfirmed, but in total, ASKfm plans to sell $100,000,000 worth of tokens. Its private sale is going on with a minimum investment amount of one million dollars.
The general cryptocurrency community can currently apply for the whitelist. 1,000,000,000 ASKfm tokens will be on offer during the ICO at an initial price of 0.1USD per 1 ASKT.
