What Journalists Say About Consensus

The event is often compared to the Super Bowl and World Cup in the blockchain field, and the Cannes Film Festival in the Web3 space.

The industry’s biggest and longest-running conference, which can at times take on the feel of a religious revival, offers opportunities to schmooze and hear from prominent crypto names. And for a casual observer, Consensus offers a useful vibe check on an industry prone to wild swings in fortune.
