| 0:00.0 | All right, everyone, welcome to another bankless episode of State of the Nation. |
| 0:18.3 | We are super excited to bring, I think, a very timely set of guests on today, talking |
| 0:23.7 | about Polygon, which is Ethereum's Internet of Change. |
| 0:27.2 | This is a layer-to-solution. |
