Verdict · the IC editorial

What we actually think

以太坊仍然是智能合约活动的主要结算层,从 DeFi 应用到许多 Layer 2 网络都建立在它之上。它的优势是采用面广、质押需求稳定;代价则是费用仍会波动、路线图较复杂,而且你需要确认 ETH 现在是否适合自己的风险承受能力。

How we operate

InteractiveCrypto operates an affiliate model: we may earn a commission when readers use broker-routing CTAs and open accounts at routed brokers. Editorial scores and rankings are computed independently from objective factor data and are not influenced by these arrangements. Reporters do not hold positions in single-name altcoins they cover; index-fund crypto exposure (via spot BTC/ETH ETFs like IBIT) is permitted with disclosure. Holdings audited quarterly.
