Welcome back to the Gwart Show! This week, Gwart sits down with Janus of the Bitcoin Layers team to discuss–well you probably get it. Still, they do go over Bitcoin sidechains, L2 approaches, tokens & dapps and what not on L2s , if this Zk thing makes sense, CatVM and more.

Do we really want this and what do we want are frequently asked questions!

Published weekly on Sunday afternoons, "The Gwart Show” gets to the bottom of crypto’s toughest topics.
