Summary
BroadChain learned that at 09:20 on April 18, according to Bitcoinist, as blockchain industry recognition increases, the Ethereum network continues to lead growth, with its user activity far surpassing most networks. Latest data shows that Ethereum dominates in validator distribution, further solidifying its leadership in the decentralized application field. Global non-custodial staking infrastructure provider Everstake reported that Ethereum has become the blockchain with the widest validator distribution, with its validation power fairly distributed among participants rather than concentrated in a few entities, marking an increase in decentralization. The chart shows that the total number of validators on the Ethereum network is approximately 921,500, far ahead of the second-ranked
BroadChain has learned that at 09:20 on April 18, according to Bitcoinist, as blockchain industry recognition increases, the Ethereum network continues to lead growth, with its user activity far surpassing most networks. Latest data shows that Ethereum dominates in validator distribution, further solidifying its leadership in the decentralized application field. Global non-custodial staking infrastructure provider Everstake reported that Ethereum has become the blockchain with the widest validator distribution, with its validation power fairly distributed among participants rather than concentrated in a few entities, marking an increase in decentralization. The chart shows that the total number of validators on the Ethereum network is approximately 921,500, far ahead of the second-ranked Cardano (with only 2,900 validators). This scale makes Ethereum operationally distinct from other projects in the market and strengthens its role as the foundational layer for decentralized applications by enhancing network resilience and security. Everstake emphasized that this level of distribution not only supports decentralization but also ensures long-term security and resilience. In terms of price, analyst Crypto Patel pointed out that after ETH plummeted from $4,800 to $1,765, a bottom seems to have formed, and the price is currently slowly climbing within an ascending channel. The current ETH price is below the key unfilled gap between $2,474 and $2,634, with the next target being this range. The true resistance levels above are at $2,900 and $3,050. If the daily close breaks above $3,050, it will confirm a trend reversal. On the downside, $1,800 is a key support level, and losing $1,765 would signal trouble. Patel believes ETH is still in recovery but has not yet shown strong momentum. A break above $3,050 is needed to confirm true strength, and he advises investors to remain patient and wait for a clear direction.
