The past 18 months of Bitcoin has been full of new “Layer 2” projects. Some serious ideas and many other scams have propelled this sector to the fore of the Bitcoin industry. Founders and engineers from credible, cutting-edge Bitcoin teams working to scale Bitcoin will discuss and debate the most pressing cultural and technical topics of this new renaissance in Bitcoin protocols, including payment channels, EVM equivalence, rollups, and more.
