Lyn Alden has put out a great article pushing back on Proof of Stake and so we simply had to give it a read through an analysis. Lyn's analysis is well researched and articulated and even though I don't agree with all of it, it's always worth taking the time to read through and think through.

In part 2 we cover:

"Governance minimized protocols will see the most use. It is the core attribute which kicks off the positive feedback loop between trust and adoption as a standard. It also puts powerful, basic tools in the hands of all creators, generating more opportunity and faster progress for the entire crypto ecosystem." -- Governance minimization, Fred Ehrsam and Dan Robinson.

Today we're exploring Governance minimization and why credible neutrality is foundational to building in crypto.

How can we govern blockchain entities? DAOs, L1s, L2s are all new kinds of organizations, groups, entities - and they all need to be governed.

How can we use tokenomics, on chain and off chain mechanisms to govern and what are the pitfalls to watch out for?

Welcome to Ethereum Audible! today we’ll be reading through David Hoffman’s Ultra Scalable Ethereum.

A debate that’s been going on for a long time in the crypto community is about how to scale blockchains and the blockchain scalability trilemma. And these days it’s more relevant since we’ve got on the one hand blockchains like Solana that are ultra scalable and on the other hand Bitcoin layer 2 solutions like lightning.

David Hoffman is one of the Bankless duo and has been diving deep into this space recently. This piece is from the Bankless newsletter.

On Nov 6th 2020 Vitalik Buterin wrote a short article on why the Ethereum ecosystem is migrating to Proof of Stake (PoS). Despite the shift being planned for years there's a lot of discussion in the ecosystem on why Ethereum is doing this, what are the benefits to PoS over Proof of Work (PoW) and whether this migration is fair to all the players in the ecosystem.

This seems like a great place to start our reads as the discussion is still alive and kicking and who better to read for our first article than Vitalik, one of the co-founders of Ethereum?

Ethereum in depth! Welcome to Ethereum audible, where I’ll be reading the papers, research and articles of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Why am I doing this?

The web 3 rabbit hole is a real things and I’ve been fascinated by it over the past few years. But I’ve yet to find a good resource out there that dives in depth into the great papers, research and thought leadership out there on the Ethereum ecosystem. And now is the time to explore it. The Ethereum ecosystem is gearing up for some massive changes over the coming months; Layer 2 scaling, the merge of the proof of stake and proof of work chain and eventually sharding.

It’s tough to tell what’s fake and what’s not, so I’ll be reading the best in Ethereum so that you can decide.
