Former BOB organizer Hannah Rosenberg is back in town and will be joining BOB for a talk on the Taproot Assets protocol.
Taproot Assets (formerly Taro) is a new Taproot-powered protocol for issuing assets on the bitcoin blockchain that can be transferred over the Lightning Network for instant, high volume, low fee transactions. At its core, Taproot Assets taps into the security and stability of the bitcoin network and the speed, scalability, and low fees of Lightning.
Hannah will give an overview of the protocol, discuss resources and tools, and answer any questions that you may have on working with Taproot Assets.
