To support its argument, the report highlighted Ethereum’s technical track record, noting that the network has maintained uninterrupted availability since its launch in 2015. Citing a recent report from OpenZeppelin, the foundation said that Ethereum was secured by approximately $76 billion in ETH staked as of March 2026, while emphasizing its geographically distributed validator network, multiple independent client implementations, and vast ecosystem of developers.
Beyond technical measures, the report presents Ethereum as a digital public infrastructure rather than a simple financial network. He highlighted existing deployments, including decentralized identity initiatives in Bhutan and Buenos Aires and Ethereum-based land registry projects in India, as examples of governments already experimenting with the technology.
This release comes as governments around the world are increasingly exploring blockchain-based infrastructure for identity, asset tokenization and public records.
