To commemorate this historic milestone, we're introducing the Ethereum Torch NFT a NFT that embodies the spirit of decentralization and community that has defined Ethereum's first decade.

Like a ceremonial flame that travels from community to community, the Ethereum Torch will journey across the global Ethereum ecosystem. This special NFT will be passed from wallet to wallet among carefully selected community members, developers, and builders who have shaped Ethereum's story over the past 10 years.

One-of-a-kind:

Only one Ethereum Torch NFT exists, making each holder a temporary guardian of Ethereum's legacy

Time-limited custody:

Each holder keeps the torch for 24 hours before passing it to the next guardian. On July 30 this NFT will be burned to celebrate the anniversary.

I had a transaction with a friend who was overseas, and I was surprised that sending and receiving money through Ethereum was much faster and easier than I thought. It's much more transparent than the existing banking system, and there are no complicated procedures in the middle.

Self-custody in the increasingly restrictive (and sometimes even hostile) world of traditional finance has opened the doors to a parallel system of finance for me.

In the past, when the community held some charity events, the fund raising channels were limited and the management transparency was low. With the decentralized nature of Ethereum, we can launch crowdfunding activities worldwide, and all fund flows can be clearly recorded on the blockchain. Community members can check the use of funds at any time, which not only broadens the source of funds, but also improves the transparency and credibility of fund management.
