The Scaling Meetup

On April 18, Cyber Academy hosted a meetup at DUST in Tbilisi focused on blockchain scalability. With one-slide pitches, a relaxed atmosphere, and highly technical talks, the event brought together developers and founders from the local and global Web3 scene.

We explored the current state of L2 architectures, QA in Web3 product cycles, and the major upgrade coming to Lido.
