Consensus 2023 in Austin, Texas was another incredible opportunity for the CCA to engage with global leaders in the blockchain, crypto, and Web3 industries. The event was packed with insightful discussions, networking opportunities, and unforgettable experiences—including some authentic Texas BBQ at Salt Lick!

Key Side Events and Highlights:
Networking with Q Protocol | Q.org – Austin Chapter: Our delegation joined the local blockchain community at this networking event, hosted by Q Protocol. It was an excellent chance to connect with innovators and discuss new advancements in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain infrastructure.

Austin Hacker House (Solana x Jump x Circle): We attended the Austin Hacker House, a five-day event at Fair Market that amplified women’s voices and experiences in the blockchain space. Open to all genders, this edition featured mentorship from Solana Labs engineers, workshops on DeFi and NFTs, and a collaborative atmosphere for builders. Whether you were working on a project or networking with potential team members, the Hacker House provided a creative and supportive space for innovation.

RWA Masters: Drinks on the Links: Hosted by Roofstock and Teller, this invite-only event focused on Real-World Assets (RWA) and tokenization. The combination of networking, informal chats over drinks, and discussions about the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized technologies made for a highly engaging afternoon.

Consensus 2023 also gave us a chance to host smaller meetings and events in our Hospitality Suite, further strengthening our relationships in the blockchain community. From side events to panel discussions, the week was packed with valuable takeaways for everyone involved.

A Taste of Texas
Of course, no trip to Austin would be complete without indulging in some authentic Texas BBQ. We made a memorable stop at Salt Lick BBQ, where we enjoyed classic Texas flavors and shared laughs with our partners and new friends.
