Ethereum reached a major milestone by finalizing its 25 millionth block on May 1, 2026, nearly 11 years after its launch in July 2015. This milestone highlights Ethereum's continuous operation and resilience, despite some past disruptions and major upgrades like the 2022 Merge to proof-of-stake. The network maintains a block time of about 12 seconds and continues to grow with increasing staking and layer two solutions. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is approaching its own milestone of block 1,000,000, expected around mid-2027, reflecting the ongoing durability of decentralized blockchain networks.
