For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Layer 2's are in vogue, but how many of them are focused on institutional use cases? In particular, if RWA's are to come on-chain, regulated firms need to feel comfortable with who they are dealing with. This is where KYC L2's like Kinto can come in. Is it topical? absolutely - and we touch upon the philosophical tradeoffs when having permissioned access. In this episode you'll learn: - What tech stack they are using to achieve this. - How you can get involved in Kinto. - What dApps are currently being built and who the potential builders are.
