Welcome back to The Gwart Show! This week, Colluding Node from the Celestia joins Gwart to unravel the mystery of memecoins, stablecoins, governance tokens, Ethereum scaling via grifters and how Celestia works under the hood. Gwart and C-Node talk about like 20+ blockchains in this podcast so it probably has something for everyone.
