CoinDesk recently wrapped up its highly anticipated Consensus 2024 crypto event, which has solidified its reputation as a must-attend gathering in the industry. The event, held in Austin, Texas from May 29 to 31, showcased cutting-edge advancements in crypto technology and featured renowned figures such as Bitcoin developer Casey Rodarmor, Chainlink creator Sergey Nazarov, MakerDao’s Rune Christensen, and Avalanche’s Emin Gün Sirer.
In addition to the engaging main stage discussions, attendees had the opportunity to explore a variety of interactive booths from leading crypto projects. The event offered a vibrant atmosphere with plenty of food, drinks, and activities to enjoy.
Despite the scorching May weather, Dabba Wifi’s booth quickly became a popular spot for attendees seeking to cool off with a cup of authentic Indian Chai. Visitors were treated to a taste of India with this iconic beverage, known for its sweet, spicy, and milky flavors that are enjoyed across the country.
Armed with a refreshing Chai in hand, visitors learned about Dabba’s ambitious plan to revolutionize internet connectivity in India through its decentralized physical infrastructure network, known as the DePin network. The company recently announced the rollout of Season 2, which includes the deployment of 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots in India and globally, along with the launch of its Solana-based token to incentivize Wi-Fi providers. Dabba aims to bridge the digital connectivity gap that has left a significant portion of India’s population without reliable Internet access.
Somnia, with its omnichain protocol, also captured attendees’ attention by offering branded bags of popcorn at its booth. The company recently introduced its flagship product, the Metaverse Browser, and hosted various events throughout Consensus, showcasing its commitment to creating a unified metaverse where digital assets can seamlessly move across virtual worlds.
Polkadot, another major attraction, provided interactive experiences for attendees to engage with its interoperable network and meet its founding teams. Through a series of pit-stop themed stations, attendees earned Proof of Attendance Protocol (POPA) tokens by participating in activities related to GameFi, decentralized finance, and real-world applications of Polkadot’s ecosystem.
Overall, Consensus 2024 was a resounding success, bringing together passionate individuals and innovators in the crypto space. With engaging discussions, interactive booths, and exciting events, the event left a lasting impression on all who attended.
