Welcome to Part 2 of Vitalik’s Endgame, where Vitalik’s nominees and Ethereum Foundation Researchers, Mike Neuder & Domothy walk us through the updated Ethereum Roadmap.

This roadmap is composed of 6 urges:

- The Merge: Proof of Stake
- The Surge: Improve throughput and DA
- The Scourge: MEV
- The Verge: Running validator anywhere with Verkle Trees
- The Purge: Eliminate technical debt
- The Splurge Fix everything else

We dive into all this and more as we wonder what’s next for Ethereum.
