Everyone else gave you swag. RAD gave you answers.

ETH Denver’s wrapped.
Your inbox probably looks like a “thank you” graveyard right now.

But RAD Denver? That hit differently. 

While others flexed photo booths and predictable panels, we packed the Hilton with people who aren’t afraid to say what the space really needs to hear—Polkadot, Arbitrum, Polygon, ZKsync, Taiko, Avalanche—all on the same stage. 

The day kicked off with Ed Felten from Offchain Labs setting the tone. Instead of yet another Web3 hype deck, Ed broke down why AI and Blockchain aren’t competing narratives—they’re complementary tech stacks that need each other. Pure insight it was tbh!

Then came the first panel—Rohit Jain from CoinDCX, WireX’s Dmitry, Fizit’s David Nichamoff—throwing real-world use cases from Payments, DeFi onboarding, enterprise rollups, and more. You named it, and it was on the table.

And when it felt like the heat couldn’t turn up more, Polygon’s Osman, Arbitrum’s Cooper, ZKsync, Taiko, Polkadot’s David—locked horns in the “Whose Stack Wins 2025” panel. No PR answers. Just bold takes on whether appchains, rollups, or multichain ecosystems will dominate.

But you know what we’re proudest of? It wasn’t just the big logos—it was the ideas.

Rymedi’s keynote showed how Avalanche L1 is already powering clinical trials—serving over a million patients and transforming health data on-chain.

Cero exposed why rollups are still leaving millions on the table—and what modular revenue looks like.

And firesides? DeAI, ZK-VM security, infra debates—you had to keep up. 

Honestly, if you missed it, you missed the alpha live. RAD Denver wasn’t loud for the sake of being loud. It was packed because people cared.

If you missed it live, here are some recordings. Watch it, take notes, and send it to your team.

See you at the next one.
