Secret Summit
Our first Secret Summit is officially in the books and was a smashing success! Whether you’re interested in Cosmos, privacy, or DeFi, Secret Summit had something for every attendee. The best part? We recorded everything if you missed Secret Summit or want to rewatch your favorite parts!
Secret Summit featured a ton of alpha. And there are many great panels and talks to watch (or rewatch)! Our first panel highlighted Cosmos’ dedication to cooperation and building, then moved to panels discussing privacy and DeFi.
Although the panels concluded, the Summit kept going strong. The second half of the event focused on happenings around Secret Network. Secret Summit featured over an hour of Secret dApp features, followed by community updates from the Secret Agency and Secret University. SCRT Labs and CEO Guy Zyskind also gave us a preview of Secret 2.0, the network’s next evolution!
Thank you to everyone who participated and attended Secret Summit. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we can’t wait to see you back for our next summit Read our blog for the event’s full rundown.
