DonDiegoSanchez opened with his speech Non, Polkadot n’est pas mort!, while the LeNexus team manned the Polkadotstand, connecting with developers and curious new arrivals. Attendees were invited to download their first Polkadot wallet, mint a special edition TOD NFT, complete Airlyft tasks for merch, and compete for prizes in Pinkonomic Racing.
