Ethereum: State of Affairs After the Merge

Ethereum: State of Affairs After the Merge

  • Vitalik Buterin

With the long awaited Ethereum Merge successfully executed last month, we caught up with Vitalik at DevCon in Bogota to talk shop: How does he see the state of the network, does he think looming centralization is a threat. Was Ethereum's danksharding plus third party layer 2s a good architecture decision? How much of an issue is MEV?

Topics:

  • The state of the network and credible neutrality
  • Should validators have agency?
  • How much of a problem is MEV
  • The Ethereum Surge
  • The road to Danksharding
  • Decentralizing the sequencer
  • The future of the space
  • The one most important thing we need to get right in the coming year for the ecosystem to succeed
