ethereum has been online ten years straight with zero pauses and zero maintenance windows. in that time: - facebook went down for 14 hours - aws kinesis froze for 17 - cloudflare dropped 19 datacenters - alt L1s…well, you know. every centralised giant blinks, they rely on on-call humans and scheduled downtime. but ethereum never stops, not through forks, crashes, bubbles, lawsuits, hacks, wars, and every kind of drama the internet can throw at it. and it’s not thanks to a CEO or a hotline. it’s not because someone saved it. it’s because we all did. devs, stakers, researchers, users, millions of us, scattered across the world, choosing to show up, block after block, year after year. while banks fail, clouds go dark and servers get patched, ethereum keeps going. we keep going. ten years online. forever to go.

Ethereum has been online ten years straight with zero downtime

AI summary of the linked article

Ethereum has run for ten years with no pauses or maintenance windows, and the author credits this to its community rather than to any single company or leader. The post contrasts this with Facebook, which went down for 14 hours, AWS Kinesis, which froze for 17, and Cloudflare, which dropped 19 datacenters, all of which rely on on-call staff and scheduled downtime. It says Ethereum has continued through forks, crashes, lawsuits, hacks and market bubbles because developers, stakers, researchers and users keep participating.
