> Hello everyone. It is my pleasure to be part of this roundtable focusing on one of the fundamental pillars of the encryption system: Ethereum.

More than just a cryptocurrency, Ethereum has become the backbone of decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and now - innovation in scaling with rollups and Layer 2 networks. With the recent advancements in Ethereum, from the merge to proto-danksharding and the roadmap towards "scaling, sharding, removal, and spending", we are not only witnessing the evolution of a protocol - we are witnessing the redefinition of the architecture of the internet itself.
