We headed over to the Bitcoin Builders conference, sponsored by the Bitcoin smart-contracts layer project Stacks, held on the upper floors of an enormous bar called Acme Feed & Seed. They had an omelette station and offered hummus-and-vegetable cups. We chatted briefly with David Tse, the Stanford University engineering professor who co-founded Babylon, a Bitcoin staking protocol, and afterward I moderated a panel on Bitcoin DeFi, featuring projects working on stablecoins, swaps and staking.
