This week on The Defiant podcast we chat with Vitalik Buterin, someone within this space that needs no introduction, but let’s give you one anyway. Vitalik wrote the ethereum white paper when he was just 19. His aim was simple yet comprehensive, to create a ‘world computer’ that was designed to be a flexible base layer for all online applications without the need of any third party. Since its inception in 2015, Ethereum has become the most active and largest smart contracts platform, but has it achieved the ‘world computer’ goal? Vitalik also explains the significance of the upcoming merge between Ethereum’s proof of stake chain an application layer, walks us through the different stages of the process, and provides guidance as to when it will happen.

Erik Marks is the director of product for permissionless innovation at MetaMask. MetaMask, the popular non-custodial wallet owned by Consensys, has been in the spotlight following the launch of Snaps on open beta. You can think of Snaps as plugins that allow developers to add new and different apps that we can use in MetaMask. One of the biggest implications of this is that Snaps will connect MetaMask to non-Ethereum chains, including Bitcoin and Solana. In our conversation, we will dive deep into the vision and the broader implications of Snaps. But first, Erik will go over the basics of this new product.
