Another standard crypto event. Lots of parties, and a few great moments/interactions with interesting people building things.
My perspective is definitely a bit skewed as I stayed with 60+ others in a builder house sponsored by EduDAO. Got to talk to amazing builders from all around the world working throughout the night on their companies and hackathon projects.
My takeaways:
shared security, zero-knowledge are the dominant narratives
everybody is building "infrastructure"
the main event is a formality -- the side events are where it's at
everybody knows what EigenLayer is now
Aptos and Sui have a ton of money, but there seem to be very few Move devs (at least that attended their events)
David's takeaways, which I agree with:
takeaways ethdenver:
1. everyone is building on the evm because it’s the access point to the multichain future.
it’s won.
2. anyone who cares about consumer use cases cares about arweave.
3. there are still no consumer use cases for crypto, and nobody seems to care
