Ethereum is decentralized, credibly-neutral infrastructure that maintains global verifiable state. What does the Ethereum protocol do today and what is being built next? It's an invitation to the room to discuss where it fits in the decentralized web.
Ethereum is decentralized, credibly-neutral infrastructure that maintains global verifiable state. This talk covers what it takes to design and build a protocol at this scale, how the protocol functions today and the work shaping its near future. Topics include censorship resistance, pushing performance without sacrificing the protocol's values, post-quantum cryptography and more. From there, the conversation opens up to the room: where does Ethereum fit in the decentralized web?
Jihoon Song works on the Ethereum protocol at the Ethereum Foundation. His work centers on the consensus layer, including censorship resistance.
