Welcome, Banquist Nation, back to the DevCon 6 Experience.

I hope you've been enjoying these interviews thus far.

I hope they've been making you feel like you were on the ground at DevCon.

It was a treat.

In this interview, we're talking with Bartek.

Bartek is the leader, the founder, co-founder of Layer 2 Beat.

He's previously mechered now, and he is at the middle of the Layer 2 Wars.

Layer 2 Beat is this place where all of these Layer 2's are like index and document

it about what holes they have, what they need to work on, and it's been like the sparring

ground for all of these Layer 2's.

So I get Bartek's perspective as what it's like to be in the middle of the Layer 2 Wars,

and how he thinks the Layer 2 Wars are progressing from here.

Overall, are we as an Ethereum ecosystem, Ethereum community members, not critical enough

about our own Layer 2's?

Are we hypocrites for critiquing cross-layer-1 bridges, other alt-layer-1's, while also

not looking at our own Layer 2's and seeing the holes and flaws in them as well?

I asked him that question, and more, all about the Layer 2 Wars, the very, very spicy

Layer 2 Wars.

So I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Bartek from Layer 2 Beat.

Right after we talked to some of these fantastic sponsors, that make this show possible.

In all of my years in crypto, I've never been hacked, scammed, or phished.

And I owe a large part of that credit to my ledger Hardware Wallet, or really my ledgers,
