Nansen 's CEO recently issued a blunt warning about Ethereum's future, stating that the world's second-largest blockchain network risks falling behind within the next five years if the community continues to maintain its current complacency. This view quickly garnered attention in the crypto community, especially in the context of increasingly fierce competition among smart contract platforms.
Chia his personal perspective, CEO Nansen stated that he has a deep connection to Ethereum, as this ecosystem introduced him to the cryptocurrency market, and he still holds ETH today. However, what worries him is not Ethereum's core technology, but the widespread "self-reassurance" culture within a segment of the community. According to him, whenever opinions point out that Ethereum is slowing down in certain aspects such as scalability, user experience, or transaction costs, the common reaction is to deny the data or cite familiar metrics like total value locked (TVL) to prove that everything is fine.
