Dave covered Forbes partnering with OKX to launch an exclusive NFT community offering premium content and education.

Samara added that OKX is unavailable in Nigeria and expressed airdrop fatigue while running nodes and playing web3 games.

A speaker discussed Polkadot becoming Inter Miami's global training partner and stressed the need for strong business development handoffs to keep web3 as backend infrastructure not front end. Samara and NatNat addressed bridging fatigue and explained that user-friendly design is key to attracting new liquidity from non-tech users.
