As the visionary behind the network, Vitalik's values are embodied within the ethos of Ethereum's community-centric nature.

Exploring quadratic funding, pluralism, and sybil resistance, we dive into why Vitalik cares about public goods and how we can utilize novel mechanisms to fund them elegantly.
