#稳定币支付与基础设施 The Ethereum upgrade in 2025 is a key signal for us crypto enthusiasts. Transitioning from testnets to a global infrastructure—what does it mean? The ecosystem projects will become more numerous, and interaction opportunities will grow explosively.

Focus on a few directions: First, the trading volume of stablecoins has surpassed 46 trillion, with Ethereum accounting for 54% of the market share—this indicates that the Ethereum-based payment and DeFi ecosystems are being practically implemented, and new projects will continue to emerge; secondly, the Layer 2 ecosystem has matured to a total lock-up of 35.7 billion, making airdrop interactions with low gas costs easier, allowing us to complete more interactions at lower costs; furthermore, the Pectra hard fork has promoted the full implementation of account abstraction, and the Gas pay-per-use feature is now available, directly lowering the participation barrier for newcomers to wallets.

The only practical advice is: focus on new projects in the L2 ecosystem. New airdrops on Base, Arbitrum, and zkSync chains often require only one-tenth of the mainnet gas costs—using the same budget, you can participate in ten times more projects. A positive regulatory shift also means more compliant projects, which could improve the quality of airdrops. Now is the golden period to accumulate interaction records and build address reputation.
