Feature News: Token2049 Day 1
Before we move to Day 1, let’s talk about the previous day: Web3 Transitions Summit organized by LongHash Ventures and Yield Guild Games. We arrived at the venue a bit late and was not able to catch the talk of YGG co-founder Gabby Dizon. We did, however, catch the final few minutes of the keynote of Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin which we w rote about here.
While we are not able to get close to Vitalik, the room was moderately packed, and everyone was comfortable enough.
It’s also great that I came to this event because on Day 1, this is the crowd in Vitalik’s keynote at Token2049:
I had to stretch my arm way above my head just to get fully packed. It was completely, without question, not conducive to learning for people who were in the back.
Here are some stand out panels and talks:
- Navigating Crypto Crime in 2024 with Chainalysis, The Digital Chamber, M2, and OKX:
- Tezos Co-Founder Arthur Breitman talks about the latest in Tezos, Etherlink, and Tezos X:
