Join Blockchain Acceleration Foundation (BAF) on Thursday, July 30th at 6pm PDT as the wonderful Katherine Plotz interviews Preston Van Loon from Prysmatic Labs about the past, present, and future of Ethereum 2.0!

In case you don't know, Ethereum is an open-source decentralized network that runs without any downtime, fraud, control, or interference from a third party. It currently faces scalability issues that limits its potential to manage all of the worlds digital assets. A few of the research teams, like Prysmatic Labs, are working hard to fix these problems by launching Ethereum 2.0.

Attend the event and check out the attached a beginners guide to ETH 2.0 if you're interested in learning more.
