Bitcoin Season 2 is here and ready to bring Bitcoin adjacent developer talent back to Bitcoin. Today’s episode of Bitcoin Magazine Twitter Spaces features the Marathon Digital Holdings Team to discuss their recently unveiled multi-chain layer-two network Anduro.
Anduro is a platform built on the Bitcoin network that allows for the creation of multiple sidechains, providing a new avenue for innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem. While Marathon has helped incubate Anduro, the network is intended to be community-led and community-driven. The network is designed to systematically integrate decentralized governance, with a focus on becoming the most reliable, developer-centric Bitcoin layer-two.
Marathon is already developing the first two sidechains on Anduro, Coordinate and Alys, which can be further developed by open-source contributors. These chains demonstrate Anduro’s flexible programmability.
