At only nineteen years old Vitalik Buterin

published a visionary paper outlining the ideas behind

what would become Ethereum. He proposed to take what

Bitcoin did for currency - to end the central control of

governments and corporations - and apply it to society

as a whole. Now, less than a decade later, Ethereum

is the second-most-valuable cryptocurrency and has

opened the gates for the extraordinary new world of

NFT artworks, virtual real estate in the metaverse and

decentralised autonomous organisations.

The essays in Proof of Stake reveal Buterin as a lively,

creative thinker, relentlessly curious and adventurous

in exploring the fascinating social, economic and political

possibilities of his invention, and will guide future

generations of Ethereum's community of radicals

and builders.
