token2049 recap; - @monad : buzzing community, full event all throughout, also very insightful panels (a bit of a self-plug here as we are building on monad eco.). very inclusive. respectful. - @Hyperliquid : more intellectual, curated. hopeful. "cool kid", exclusive vibe. spoke with @HypioHL team, very strong & intentional mimetics - @binance bnb chain event: strong KOL vibe, chinese community buzzing - rwa: everything is an rwa, even anime ip. (@TheSpartanGroup event) anything that can tie into this narrative seems to do all right in convo. - yield, yield, yield. everyone is discussing new sources of yield. DAT narrative has cooled off. - ai x crypto as a narrative doesn't feel real quite yet to me, though i could be convinced. verifiable inference on prediction markets was the only interesting portion. - gaming: in pockets, @YGG_Play and @gabusch carrying. @pudgypenguins of course still strong with the events. @SpartanBlack_1 and Tommy still a believer and supporter. @makersfundvc still deploying, with some really interesting projects in the pipe. slowly then all at once. (pic: spartan event) - @ArbitrumPlay @arbitrum secret side events were ace @0xkapital_k @wassiecapital - @SuiNetwork: soiree feeling, big event at LAVO (top new reopened restaurant in sg) - i did not go to marquee (as a singaporean), so I cannot confirm nor deny the event vibes there. - sentosa mansion party: surprisingly did not feel toppish. very international, yet hyperlocal, which means local elite are becoming more accepting of crypto. perhaps we still have room to go yet you can measure the success of an eco by the events, and the community that shows up for it. gonna do some f1 things this weekend now. vroom.
