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.
