On this episode of the Stonks Go Moon Podcast, host Rocco Strydom sits down with Preston Van Loon, co-founder of Prysmatic Labs and core Ethereum developer, to celebrate Ethereum’s 10-year milestone of 100% uptime and look ahead at the future of the network.
Van Loon, who helped lead the Prysm client during Ethereum’s historic transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, explains what makes Ethereum’s architecture so resilient, the challenges of keeping nodes running, and why the next decade will be about scaling Ethereum for mass adoption.
In this conversation:
How Ethereum achieved 10 years of uninterrupted uptime
The behind-the-scenes challenges of running nodes at scale
The transition to proof-of-stake and the role of Prysm
The roadmap for scaling Ethereum with faster blocks and L2s
Why stablecoins and institutions continue to bet on Ethereum
What Ethereum needs to enable everyday use in the next decade
“We want to go from novelty to commodity. I want to buy groceries with Ethereum like it’s cash.” – Preston Van Loon
