LENS NIGHT OUT TOKYO at NoxGallery
I exhibited my work and made a brief talk appearance 👀
It was educational, and I enjoyed seeing various creators’ work on the big screen. The Japanese sweets were so delicious, and I had a great time 😋
Thank you, @kayakiko and @asamisscream and everyone I met🫶
Jeff is the Founder of Merlin.
In this episode, we discuss how Merlin Chain aims to make Bitcoin fun again. We interview Jeff about why we need a Bitcoin L2 (or sidechain) like Merlin, how they grew it to nearly $3B in liquidity deposited since launching in Feb 2024, and how to get started as a user.
