WTF is Char? | Bitcoin 2026
Bitcoin layer twos have a centralization problem and Char Network is trying to fix it. Jeremy Rubin takes the stage at Bitcoin 2026 to break down how Char works as a shared sequencing layer that any layer two can plug into, using stake-weighted consensus and Schnorr-based slashing to replace trust assumptions with publicly verifiable value at risk. The talk covers Char's architecture as a Bitcoin Core fork, its pre-commit checkpoint model, and the open research questions Char's team is still wrestling with.Trade Bitcoin's next move on Duelbits Predict — get 100% cashback on your first bet, up to $100.
