highlighting layer-2 technologies
April 28-29-30
Bitcoin++ is a three-day developer-focused bitcoin conference. We place a heavy emphasis on long form lectures and workshops, with smaller more-focused audiences who are excited to get deeper into the cutting edge of bitcoin tech.
Our Austin conference will have a focus on layer-2 technology; we’ve invited a range of experts and builders across the scaling space to come talk about their projects and get users on-boarded to using them.
