Token2049 returns to Marina Bay Sands on October 7 and 8. The numbers for this edition: 25,000 attendees from 7,000 companies across 160 countries, 300 speakers, 500 exhibitors and more than 1,000 side events running across Singapore through the week. Over 60% of attendees hold C-level positions.

The institutional side of this year's programme is what makes it different from previous editions. Senior leaders from BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, NYSE, CME and Franklin Templeton are confirmed across the event. The speaker list includes Nasdaq Chair and CEO Adena Friedman, Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson, Hyperliquid Labs CEO Jeff Yan, Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and Binance CEO Richard Teng. The organizers moved the Dubai edition to 2027 and put the full programme into Singapore, which is visible in the scale.

Around the main conference, the side event week runs from October 1 through 8. The Digital Asset Summit Asia, Sui Basecamp, the Network State Conference, the Milken Institute Asia Summit and the Forbes Global CEO Conference are among the 1,000 events taking place across the city. The TOKEN2049 Origins hackathon runs for 36 hours. The NEXUS Startup Competition finals are judged by Dragonfly, Multicoin and Maelstrom.

For projects watching the calendar, the week concentrates more decision-makers in one city than any other point in the year. Most of the real conversations happen outside Marina Bay Sands.

How much does it actually cost to fly to 🇸🇬 for @TOKEN2049 ?

Token2049 ticket - $500
Round trip flights - $900
Hotel for 3 nights - $2200

$3,600 total, not exactly a budget crypto trip but I’m sure it’ll be worth it 😄

i have a thesis that buybacks don't actually work

hyperliquid makes $800M annualized revenue
pump fun makes $440M annualized revenue

$HYPE trades at $65B FDV while $PUMP trades at $1.4B FDV

both teams do regularly recurring buybacks with portions of their profits from the business but they trade at vastly different ratios to their revenues

i believe the difference is not in how much actual revenue is generated by the business but instead its reflective of the trust premium ascribed to the team determined by their actions and decisions in the market, hyperliquid never overpromised anything, only focused on shipping product and emphatically rewarded their core users based on pre-determined metrics that contributed the most to the platform, the core users of hyperliquid have a very high trust rating with Jeff, & even if you believe the perps revenues are slightly more durable which maybe they are, i believe this trust premium on their execution and social alignment with the community is a major factor in why the token trades so well

in contrast, pump fun made $1B in revenue, raised another $1B in their ICO, and promised an airdrop to users that was never delivered, even though they are one of the most successful and consistent businesses in crypto, they do not have social alignment with their core userbase and therefore do not have a comparable trust premium that hyperliquid has, recently it seems they've made concerted effort to improve comms and talk to community more, i believe that if they were ever to seriously focus attention on shifting this dynamic by actually doing the airdrop they've promised and responding to the concerns of their core user base, then the token would trade 10-15x higher, as it would also likely materially increase their volume, attention, and resulting revenues on their platform

bitcoin makes $0 in revenue but has a ~$1.3T market cap, it has the greatest trust premium of any asset to ever exist, people know that there will only ever be 21M coins, and they know that the network will always continue to function no matter what to fulfill its necessary actions

this is part of what ive been talking about when i say that there is intangible value that contributes to the valuation of a business in addition to the tangible value that is determined purely from revenues and other metrics

trust, memetics, and attention are all very important and heavily underdiscussed in markets

@BackersStage Great solution for anyone looking to take their product to the next level!

[Dolphin @dlphin01]

Ethereum L1 needs to keep both high TVL and an active user base.

More TVL and users → more address poisoning transactions → more ETH burned.

If liquidity and activity migrate to L2 solutions or alternative L1 chains, then dusting attacks will likely move there as well.

On a serious note, the success rate of these attacks is extremely low — around 0.01% (roughly 1 successful case per 10,000 transfers). However, as Ethereum L1 continues to scale, the cost of performing address poisoning drops, which has led attackers to run these operations at industrial scale.

After the Fusaka upgrade, which reduced attack costs by as much as 600%, the number of sub-$0.01 dust transfers increased significantly. Activity cooled down later but still remained above pre-Fusaka levels.

Is there a possible fix?

One idea could be raising gas costs for very low-value transactions.

But that’s unlikely to happen. In practice, it's easier for users to improve address management habits, while centralized exchanges and wallets like Rabby continue developing features that make sending transactions safer.
