December 2022 marked a milestone for the crypto community as Decrypt Studios held the first ever Crypties Awards gala at Art Basel in Miami. The evening was hosted by Josh Ostrovsky (“The Fat Jewish”) and presenters from various crypto projects handed out statuettes in nine different categories. The evening was sponsored by Polygon, Filecoin Foundation, Lamina1, Async, BeetsDAO, The Gold Mask, Gem Set, Breakout, Anonymous, Infinite Objects, Ape Water, Decentralized Pictures, and Vault 721.
Katrina Wolfe accepted the Cryptie for Crypto Unicorns from presenter Avery Akkineni of Vayner3. The other nominees in the category included Stepn, Zed Run, and Blankos Block Party.
The evening also featured onstage panels and interviews from conferences and summits such as Tezos co-founder Kathleen Breitman at Web Summit in Lisbon and a venture money panel at 0xpo Summit in San Francisco. At Web Summit, Breitman discussed how the Tezos blockchain has used a proof-of-stake mechanism since its inception and her admiration for Tendermint, Ethereum, and sharding. At 0xpo Summit, Clay Robbins of Slow Ventures, Soona Amhaz of Volt Capital, Sarah Guo of Conviction and formerly Greylock, and Alex Strzesniewski of AngelBlock joined Decrypt’s Jason Nelson for an extensive panel on raising venture money even during Crypto Winter.
The Crypties Awards were a celebration of the cryptocurrency industry and all the progress it has made throughout the year. It was a night of recognition, appreciation, and enthusiasm as the crypto community came together to celebrate the achievements of the industry. With the support of sponsors, Decrypt created a memorable evening that will be remembered for years to come.
