He also recently published a new book titled, “Proof of Stake: The Making of Ethereum and the Philosophy of Blockchains.” In his first Bankless appearance post-merge, Vitalik shares his behind-the-scenes perspective on the merge, looking back—what he would’ve done differently, and most importantly—what’s next?
