Ethereum Origins LAPUTA

Описание LAPUTA

Did the Miyazaki's Laputa : Castle in the Sky inspire the name and logo of Ethereum? In Laputa: Castle in the Sky, the powerful crystal central to the story is called "Ethereum," which has led many to speculate that the film may have inspired the name of the Ethereum blockchain. The parallels are hard to ignore. In Laputa, Ethereum is a mysterious energy source with immense potential, much like how the Ethereum platform is a groundbreaking decentralized technology. At the Token 2024 conference, Buterin deepened this connection when he sang the film’s iconic theme song, "Kimi wo Nosete" ("Carrying You"), hinting that the movie’s themes of discovery, innovation, and idealism may have influenced Ethereum's creation. At the Token 2024 conference, Vitalik Buterin fueled speculation about the connection between Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Ethereum even further by using an image from the film during his presentation. The image depicted the floating island of Laputa, reinforcing the idea of a powerful, decentralized energy source—symbolized by the crystal "Ethereum" in the movie.
