Grit Daily and Waves Duckverse Partner Ahead of Consensus Festival

Consensus 2022 is just around the corner and crypto enthusiasts are getting ready to get up to date with recent developments in the crypto space. This is especially true for the NFT space after news of Bored Ape Yacht Club’s Discord hack. As such, Grit Daily has partnered with Waves Duckverse to host a special event for all NFT enthusiasts out there.

It has already been 2 months since Bitcoin 2022 took place in Miami and a lot has taken place in the NFT space. Regulatory efforts, hacks, launches, crashes, and funding announcements, are only some of the topics. Duckverse’s event represents a unique and fun way to keep up with these developments, getting insights directly from experts.

The event will be taking place on Saturday the 11th in a calm and gorgeous estate in Austin (judge by yourself). This makes it the perfect chance to escape the fast-moving pace of Consensus while also staying true to the nature of the festival. Networking, food, Duck Hunt, NFT expositions, and partying are all on the table. 

If you are wondering what the Duck Hunt is, it is just like an egg hunt with an added bonus: You can win valuable NFTs. Each duck you find will have a QR for you to scan, which effectively operates as a ticket to participate for up to $5,000 in NFTs. The schedule for the event is as follows:

• ​12 pm – 4 pm: Luncheon
• ​4 pm – 5 pm: Fireside chat with Coleman Maher, Head of Ecosystem at Waves Labs; and Swan Sit, former Global Head of Digital Marketing at Nike, Estée Lauder and Revlon. She’s now “the Queen of Clubhouse” with 3.5 million followers.
• ​5pm – 7 pm: Networking, Duck Hunt, NFT Gallery
• ​7 pm – 9 pm: Dinner
• ​9 pm – late: After hours by Trippy Labs

If you want to join Duckverse and participate in the event, make sure to RSVP here as only confirmed guests will be able to join. There is no need to worry if you are unable to join Duckverse’s event and want to catch up with the NFT space. At Grit Daily House we will also be hosting several panels around NFTs and many other topics.

The media house will be hosting from Wednesday, June 8th to Friday 10th,  and will bring together a lineup of experts from across the industry. Drinks, steak, shrimp, lobster, music, and networking are all things you should expect if attending…  In addition to panels and talks, of course.

Does this sound good to you? Here is our complete schedule in case you haven’t made your mind:
