Learnings from Devcon 2024: Decentralization Matters

Learnings from Devcon 2024: Decentralization Matters

Author: Galaxy Research November 26, 2024 Duration: 39:56
On Ep.67 of Infinite Jungle, Christine shares her main takeaways from Devcon 2024. She shares her thoughts on the Beam Chain announcement and native rollups. She explains why the most compelling ideas shared at the conference were not related to Ethereum’s technical roadmap or ZK innovations, but rather ideas about the values and beliefs grounding the Ethereum ecosystem. Christine makes the case for Ethereum’s new North Star post-Merge to be building Ethereum and Ethereum-based technologies with decentralization and credible neutrality as top of mind over and above other objectives like scalability and mass adoption.
