A surprising discovery was that more and more companies are looking for value-driven growth by looking for talent outside of high-cost countries like the USA, Canada, Japan, or Israel. This changing mindset has opened up new ways for people from lower-cost countries to make money in the crypto sphere.

A standout moment was hearing Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, emphasizing the new trends in the crypto industry—trust and transparency, and the notable shift of operations outside the US. Using a reference, it was pointed out that only 25% of Ripple’s workers were based outside of the US last year, but that number has jumped to 40% this year.

The ZK rollup was the talk of the town. It was talked about on stage and off. Companies want to use it because they recognize its promise, even though it needs more work, research, and polishing. Red Pill also has a keen interest in Zero-Knowledge rollups and is open to collaboration.

Our meeting with representatives from TON Play opened promising marketing possibilities for our projects, opening new doors to optimize both revenue and influence.
