## Description

A conversation with Aya Miyaguchi, Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, exploring how Ethereum supports open collaboration and the development of digital public goods. Aya shares her perspective on Ethereum as an "infinite garden"—a flourishing, ever-evolving ecosystem cultivated by a decentralized network of contributors. This metaphor underscores the collective effort required to nurture Ethereum as a resilient, shared space for innovation, where governments, citizens, and technologists collaborate to steward the commons.

Aya emphasizes the importance of collective stewardship across all sectors, from governments to citizens, as key to ensuring Ethereum’s long-term success in fostering collaboration and digital commons governance.
