Immediately upon arrival, we began winning. COO Salim Hadri won the validator prix, a fine example of how we race fast, and ship even faster.

"I feel like liquid staking has lost that (ability to select and vet a validator of your choice) along the way and that's what we're trying to bring back, is that native experience." pic.twitter.com/DPTltxaEGe
When the team wasn’t busy with talks, they were busy giving merch and talking to soon-to-be Chefs at our booth:
