As the father of Ethereum said on Twitter, he has been working on Proof of Stake for 10 years. «At a time when many were focused on the rising value of cryptocurrencies, Buterin was working on the challenges and opportunities of creating an online world,» the book’s description reads.

«Proof of Stake», the (physical and digital) book compiling various writings I've made over the last ~10 years, is finally out!

As for the price, the paper version of the book on the Booksamillion website costs $ 18.95. Interestingly, the pre-order for the book was opened at the end of September, when the cost of one copy was $ 200.

Vitalik Buterin promised to donate all the proceeds from the sale to charity. This is not the first good initiative of the Ethereum founder. Last year, Buterin received 50% of the total number of Shiba Inu tokens from anonymous project developers, who wanted to remove the cryptocurrency from circulation. The founder of Ethereum destroyed 90% of the tokens he received, according to him, he did not want to be a «center of power.» Buterin used the remaining tokens to finance the Existential Safety AI scholarship program and donate to the Indian COVID-19 relief fund.
