Ethereum's Roadmap with Domothy
My guest today is Dom, who goes by Domothy online. Dom works on the Research Team at the Ethereum Foundation. He is passionate about Ethereum development and tries to keep tabs on all parts of the roadmap, and communicates these details between the many teams at the EF.
This conversation comes in three parts. In the introduction, Dom and I discuss how he found his way from passionate bystander to working for the EF. In the second section, we discuss the hottest developments in the six areas of Ethereum Roadmap: The Merge, The Surge, The Scourge, The Verge, The Purge, and The Splurge. We cover whether or not state expiry should concern onchain NFT devs, whether the price of L1 gas will go up or down over time, and much more. In the final chapter, we discuss the political and social organization of Ethereum development in- and outside of the EF, to try to determine if there are any lessons we can extract for DAOs and other open source blockchain development initiatives.
It's always exciting to get a peek inside the world of the EF and core protocol development, which is producing the most exciting specs at the intersection of cryptography and humanity.
