As Ethereum marks a decade, Consensys touts its security architecture and “trustware” thesis as key to its long-term role in global finance.
As Ethereum nears its 10th anniversary, blockchain company Consensys is proposing a new way to think about the network’s role in the global economy: as critical infrastructure for what it calls a “trustware” era.
According to Consensys, Ethereum is evolving beyond a smart contract platform into a foundational layer for verifiable, programmable trust in financial systems and beyond.
While the concept remains speculative, Consensys points to Ethereum’s growing share of tokenized assets, stablecoins and decentralized finance as early signals of that shift, further predicting that demand for Ether (ETH) could rise sharply in the coming years.
