Burak started in Bitcoin about five years ago, exploring and building around mining, payments, wallets, developer tools, and finally, Bitcoin-style smart contracts. He saw Bitcoin as a monetary base layer, as a platform for the next generation of financial applications. I was also curious about exploring and playing around with AMMs, lending protocols, and other applications that thrived in the other ecosystems. This led him to bring these new use cases to Bitcoin layer two, in line with Bitcoin characteristics.
