Since the contest kicked off in July, over 50 #ethereum stories have been published, amassing 50,000+ pageviews and delivering more than a day’s worth of insightful reading. Participants were invited to discuss why Ethereum is considered a leader in balancing decentralization, scalability, and security; examine how Layer 2 solutions extend the blockchain’s capabilities; analyze its role in a new global financial system; and consider how defi impacts governance, power structures, and trust. The contest closed on October 15, 2024. Entries submitted before the deadline were reviewed by HackerNoon’s editors and narrowed  down to our top 10 finalists. Let’s meet them!
