From Blinks to Balaji - What to Expect at Solana Breakpoint 2024
Solana enthusiasts are no strangers to Breakpoint, and with over 5,000 tickets already sold, this year promises to be bigger and better than ever. What exciting developments can we look forward to?
The event, held at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre from 20-21 September 2024, will feature a new format with four distinct styles: 5-minute, 5-slide product keynotes, formal debates with structured motions, fireside chats between industry professionals, and headline talks.
Bet you’re sick of crypto conferences.
