Rare Evo 2026 is happening. We have cut everything that is a luxury as of right now. No Poker Tournament, No opening party, no close out party, no free coffee, cut the live stream of main stage (brings no revenue and was a luxury for those that cant make it), cut down on stage size and design, Dev / Gov day will be severely cut to just some breakout room space if even possible at all. (There is a sponsor looking at the opening party, but not sold yet)
The only paid Cardano booths this year are
@hoskytoken who has always supported our event (and I said I would give a free both to next year if we survive) & Bank /
@BetFicasino (we will also give a free booth to if there is a 2027)
The rest we have already started to give them away for free to Cardano community so they can be present at the event. That after all, is the whole point of this.
We already made GA tickets free. If we are going to spend every last penny Rare Network has on this event we are going out giving the people that supported us for years everything we have left in the tank.
to break down Unified Events. We were supposted to make $150,000 for our entire team of 7 people working all year on Unified Events taking Cardano all over the world. with the ADA price drop from the 0.50 for the proposal, we still completed every event and are still owed 400,000 ADA which is quickly falling in value to below 0.24 as of writing this.
We are still owed money from
Amplifycardano.io and our catalyst proposal that is paused. We completed the proposal, paid for all the events.
We have done everything we can to serve this community for years at a time. When Consensus stiffed
@IOHK_Charles and put his booth in the back corner, and his 15 minute stage time was in a back room no one could find, and the guy asked him about failed african partnerships. We put Cardano front and center and always have, even to the detriment of our business.
Its been real serving you all, I hope we get to continue.
