Ethereum.org

Ethereum.org is an educational website and portal to Ethereum - for many people, it is their first contact with Ethereum, the place where they find their first wallet or dapp to use, and their go-to resource to start learning or level up their knowledge. To best serve this purpose, we have been running the ethereum.org Translation program since July 2019, intending to make the content on the site available to everyone, including over 6 billion non-English speakers. By providing educational content about Ethereum and essential onboarding pages in as many languages as possible, we are making learning about Ethereum and becoming an Ethereum user or developer as easy as possible for everyone, regardless of the languages they speak. The result of this effort has been a steady increase

From the explosion of the scaling and layer 2 ecosystems to the first Devcon in three years and The Merge, it has been an exciting year for Ethereum and ethereum.org. We’ve shipped many impactful features and content, with thousands of incredible contributors helping us along the way. Let’s dive into our highlights of 2022:

Since the first post in December 2013, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) blog has been the primary way teams within the EF communicate. From announcements about events, to grant waves, protocol upgrades, regular updates from specific teams or discussing Ethereum's vision and roadmap, the blog has been a helpful resource for those looking to stay in the loop. However, there's been one big problem: despite our global Ethereum community, this information has primarily only been available in English. Accessing this information is a challenge for the billions of non-English speakers around the world.

Ethereum is a protocol undergoing significant changes. Client teams are upgrading the protocol to scale to meet global demand while improving security and decentralization. Beyond protocol development, a critical shift in Ethereum has been the movement away from ‘Eth1’ and ‘Eth2’ terminology. As of late 2021, core developers stopped using the terminology, preferring ‘execution layer’ and ‘consensus layer’, respectively. Today, as highlighted in our Q1 roadmap, ethereum.org makes the same shift. Eth1 → execution layer Eth2 → consensus layer Execution layer + consensus layer = Ethereum Let’s explore why.

The ethereum.org Translation Program has been live for over two years, and we are excited to share a couple of milestones we have hit since its inception, as well as some of our plans for the future. Since we launched the initiative in 2019, over 2,000 community members have contributed, translating a total of 2.8 million words so far! Thanks to all this activity, ethereum.org is now available in 37 different languages. While English continues to be the primary language viewed on the site (88% of total page views), traffic to translated pages is growing as well and has more than tripled since last year: !Ethereum.org traffic - Unique pageviews by language.jpg Some of the recent progress we have made: In December 2020, we [announced the creation of content versions

We hope that you are all excited for the upcoming year-end holidays. Today, we've got some exciting new changes to announce for Ethereum.org's Translation Program and some milestones to celebrate. To start, we can’t thank you enough for all of your support this year. Thanks to you we've been able to update 16 languages in 2020! And since our launch 13 months ago, unique pageviews of translated content have grown 10 times more than last year. 🎉 But we don't want to stop there...

Within the next few weeks, we'll be winding down Ethereum Studio. Please use this time to download any projects you have saved. To download your project, use the download icon in the file explorer. If you're looking for another web environment for your Solidity development, we recommend Remix. Also, we encourage you to consider setting up a local development environment. For tools, documentation, and more, check out our developer portal.

Hey Ethereum community! We last spoke August 5 – how you been? We're here to talk about something fresh we've shipped. Maybe you've already noticed, but we've got a new Developers section. For a long time, this content was a wall of links to products you might find helpful when building a dapp. We provided very little context and left a lot of connecting the dots up to you. We thought we could do better. !The new ethereum.org developer portal on different devices Technical information about Ethereum is often fragmented, which can be a barrier for new developers who are trying to get their bearings. Getting to grips with Ethereum development can feel like running uphill against
