.@Token2049 was intense 🚕 > 🗣️ > 🚶 > repeat. Lots of walking, talking, and reconnecting with familiar faces (plus finally meeting a few internet frens IRL). The big themes? AI everywhere, stables, and DeFi feeling exciting again with DeFAI and RWA emerging. But the real vibe? A clear shift from hype to execution. Teams are focused on real infrastructure, useful products, and getting things live - fast. That’s exactly where we fit in. Aurora resonated with that energy. Virtual Chains, NEAR Intents, and the Aurora Cloud stack stood out for one reason: they provide a building experience that feels like the future. Builders saw how quickly they can launch, and the feedback was strong. Two events stood out: AI on Rocks by @StrawberryAI_5 & @Build_Vertical, and Multichain Day by @wrappedxyz both featured amazing venues and solid team shipping great products. Strong showing from projects like @Aptos, @SuiNetwork, @solana, @NEARProtocol and a growing sense that this next cycle will be shaped by those who are quietly getting things done. We’re now back with solid connections and a clear view of what’s next. Exciting times ahead 🔥 Thanks everyone for making this awesome 🙏
