To support its claim, the report highlighted Ethereum’s technological track record, noting that the network has maintained uninterrupted uptime since its launch in 2015. Citing a recent OpenZeppelin report, the foundation said Ethereum is secured with approximately $76 billion worth of staked ETH as of March 2026, highlighting its geographically distributed validator network, multiple independent client implementations, and large developer ecosystem.
Beyond technical metrics, the report framed Ethereum as a digital public infrastructure, rather than just a financial network. He cited existing deployments such as decentralized identity initiatives in Bhutan and Buenos Aires and an Ethereum-based land registry project in India as examples of governments already experimenting with the technology.
The publication comes as governments around the world increasingly consider blockchain-based infrastructure for identity, asset tokenization, and public records. The Ethereum Foundation said policymakers need to distinguish between decentralized public blockchains and networks that remain controlled by corporations or foundations, arguing that governance structures play a key role in determining which platforms are suitable for long-term public sector use.
