As a Consensus 2023 attendee, you have the opportunity to earn DESK tokens by completing various actions, such as attending sessions, answering quizzes, or visiting certain locations. Once you have earned DESK tokens, you can use them to redeem food, beverages and merchandise at the event without needing a crypto wallet.
To redeem your DESK rewards on-site, follow these simple steps:
Spending DESK at C23:
Crypto wallet:
- Cashier selects the merch item on the Flexa POS and enters all items.
- Cashier hits "Request X DESK" to generate a Flexa QR code.
- Attendee scans the QR code with their camera app and is taken to the Payments Page on their mobile browser.
- Attendee inputs their email address and selects the app (wallet) to pay with.
- Attendee selects DESK as the asset to pay with and confirms and sends the payment.
- The Payments Page and Flexa POS display a check mark to confirm payment.
CD account:
- Attendees can use their DESK to buy tokens for food, drinks, and limited merch items at the on-site DESK Hub.
- When the attendee approaches the cashier, the cashier asks if they want to redeem with their CoinDesk.com account or crypto wallet.
- If the user chooses to redeem with their CoinDesk.com account, the cashier finds the correlating QR code in a binder provided by the events team.
- Attendees scan the QR code with their camera and are presented with a screen showing item and price.
- Attendee clicks "Redeem for X DESK" to confirm and the amount is deducted from their CoinDesk balance and transferred to a burn wallet on-chain.
- The spent transaction appears in the "Balance History" tab on the DESK Hub with a link to Polyscan for the corresponding on-chain transaction.
