Welcome to the final talk of the Bankless Summit, which was a series of talks from speakers

0:11.3

around the Ethereum ecosystem, all presented at a one-day event hosted a day after DevCon

0:15.8

called the Bankless Summit. Peter Van Valkenberg is perhaps one of the greatest speakers in the entire
