Welcome back to The Gwart Show! We are joined by the 4th most important Taproot Wizard, Udi Wertheimer, to discuss, well, male pattern baldness. We also dive into the wizards roadmap (not just JPEGS) like CATVM, the use-cases for L2s, how blockspace doesn’t solve blockspace issues and why ETH Maxis just keep losing.
