''"By the end of 2014, a growing community of cryptocurrency researchers had come together online in the form of the CryptoCurrency Research Group, largely convinced that [[Proof-of-Stake (PoS)|Proof of Stake]] cryptocurrencies were the future of blockchains. They set off to build that future. Among them were [[Vitalik Buterin]], [[Vlad Zamfir]], [[Ethan Buchman]], [[Jae Kwon]], [[Zaki Manian]], [[Dominic Williams]], [[Arthur Breitman|Arthur Brietman]], and others. Vitalik had invented [[Ethereum (ETH)|Ethereum]], and Vlad had been working as a leading researcher there. Ethan worked closely with Vlad and was contributing to go-ethereum. Jae Kwon had invented [[Ignite (Company)|Tendermint]]. Dominic was working on the ideas that would become [[Dfinity (ICP)|Dfinity]]. Arthur had invented [[Tezos (XTZ)|Tezos]]. Zaki was running a supply-chain focused blockchain startup called [[SkuChain]] at the time, and was otherwise already everywhere."''
