Welcome & Introduction
summary
Pragma opens as a founders-only, single-track summit focused on high-level strategy rather than deep tech, with 420+ attendees from 39 countries and a tight schedule: two slide talks, three panels, seven one-on-one interviews. ETHGlobal debuts Packs as an onchain/offchain primitive — the Denver Pack sells out early with 100+ holders on-site, adds Clave Wallet integration that instantly issues 15 USDC per claim, plus a Hacker Pack faucet and a London Pack launched for the upcoming hackathon.
