About the event
What we cover
Incentives end. Emission doesn't. We break down which Web3 business models actually stand a chance in the next cycle, around three directions:
- The shift from speculative tokens to products with real revenue.
- The convergence of crypto and the real economy: lending, RWA, payments, infrastructure.
- The move from endless incentives to more sustainable models of user acquisition and retention.
