馃 When Institutions Meet Ideals
While institutional adoption of Ethereum continues to grow, the community emphasizes maintaining focus on the network's fundamental vision:

- Developing trustless infrastructure for finance, AI, and internet
- Ensuring the network remains incorruptible and open
The increasing institutional interest, while positive, should not overshadow Ethereum's core mission of creating unstoppable, decentralized infrastructure. Staking plays a crucial role in maintaining this vision.
The work continues as the ecosystem balances growth with decentralization principles.
