About

This is the website of Josh Stark where I write about Ethereum, blockchains, and the futures we can build with them. I am particularly interested in understanding and articulating why blockchains can be worthy of trust, and how this proprety can be compared to existing infrastructure.

 

I work for Ethereum at the Ethereum Foundation as a member of the management team. Previously I co-founded ETHGlobal and L4.
