The Mall is FEST’s answer to the merch areas of traditional festivals and conferences. And since we are neither of those things, but a more secret third thing, so to is our merchandise solution at FEST. See full details below, including activations from Bend, Worldcoin, Lens, Metastreet, Co:Create Ink, D3, Optimism, IYK, and more.

DOWNLOAD UNISWAP WALLET,

ENTER UNISWAP CAFE

It’s easy to forget that going onchain is about more than just finding compelling applications to interact with. It requires onboarding to a wallet, navigating seed phrases — and all of that happens before you can even sign a transaction.

Uniswap Labs gets thousands of requests from users asking for help with wallets. And because 80% of new addresses onchain make their way to the Uniswap Protocol on day one, the number of frustrated users struggling with self-custody wallets just kept adding up.

So they decided to build their own.

The Uniswap Mobile App and the brand-new Uniswap Extension are beautiful, simple, and secure. The kind of wallet you just feel delighted to use.

To make the Uniswap Wallet platform even more delightful, Uniswap Labs is running special programming at FEST ✨exclusively✨ for Uniswap Wallet users, including piercings with Boys Club, friendship bracelets, breakfast, and snacks throughout the weekend.

Don’t miss out — make sure you have the wallet downloaded (on your phone and your desktop) before you head out to Idyllwild. Download here.

For those who can’t make it out to FEST this year, Uniswap Labs has lots in store for wallet users. Stay tuned. 🦄
