The evening’s festivities will include the presentation of nine awards, each honoring a different category of excellence, such as game of the year and best project of the year. Last year’s award for game of the year went to Crypto Unicorns, while Stepn, Zed Run, and Blankos Block Party were also nominated.
In addition to the awards ceremony, the event will include a number of onstage panels and interviews from crypto conferences and summits. This year’s keynote speaker will be Tezos co-founder Kathleen Breitman, who will talk about how the Tezos blockchain has used a proof-of-stake mechanism since its inception, her admiration for Tendermint, Ethereum and sharding, progressive decentralization, and NFT gaming.
Meanwhile, Slow Ventures, Volt Capital, Conviction, and AngelBlock will bring together a panel on raising venture money during Crypto Winter. Clay Robbins of Slow Ventures, Soona Amhaz of Volt Capital, Sarah Guo of Conviction and formerly Greylock, and Alex Strzesniewski of AngelBlock will join Decrypt’s Jason Nelson for the discussion.
The Crypties Awards gala will be the perfect opportunity for the crypto community to come together and celebrate the best the industry has to offer. With top speakers, panels, and award presentations, it’s sure to be an evening to remember.
