There’s a lot to think about when it comes to planning your Consensus 2023 experience. Where will you stay? Which sessions do you want to check out? What experiences do you want to try out? But the first, and perhaps the most important, question you might ask is, which pass type should you buy?
With three main pass types, special rates for students, developers and startups and, now, a brand-new NFT Pass, there’s a lot to take in when determining the best choice for you.
Here’s a closer look at the different Consensus pass types and an idea of the type of attendees we had in mind when we designed them.
Two-Day Pass
If you are coming to Consensus to catch a few sessions, meander the show floor, attend some parties and meet new people, then look no further. The Two-Day pass gets you access to the core Consensus experience. That means content on all stages, happy hours, evening events, DESK collecting and redemption opportunities and more.
The Two-Day pass is also a great choice for those with a particular interest in crypto policy and regulations as it gets you access to the Crypto Policy Summit on Friday, April 28.
Pro Pass
With the Pro pass, the ideal attendee is all in the name – pros. We’re talking about industry professionals. This means institutional and retail investors, asset managers, brand innovators, creators, artists, marketers and anyone else with professional interests in crypto and Web3. This pass unlocks access to exclusive programming, the Pro Pass Networking Lounge, select access to events and more!
The main benefit of the Pro pass is access to an exclusive extra day of Consensus programming geared towards professionals. Pro pass holders can kick-start their Consensus experience a day early on Wednesday, April 26, for the financed-focused Money Reimagined Summit and the marketing-centric Web3 Brand and Creator Summit.
In addition to the exclusive summits, Wednesday’s programming for Pro pass holders also includes content at the Protocol Village, Metaverse and Gaming Zone and The Gallery.
NFT Pass (Microcosms)
The newest addition to the Consensus pass type family is SO much more than a pass. It is a multi-tiered event, rewards and generative art experience to supercharge Consensus.
The Consensus NFT Pass, aka Microcosms, is perfect for non-fungible token lovers looking to add a unique piece to their collection. It is also perfect for loyal Consensus attendees because it locks in Pro pass access to Consensus for the next three years (worth >$3,600). For those in crypto who have been to Consensus but may not understand the value that NFT ownership can bring, this is your gateway opportunity.
Microcosms is so much more than your average NFT event ticket. In addition to Consensus access through 2025, minting gets you a 1/1000 unique generative artwork by Fahad Karim that evolves over the three-year run. Plus, yearly random rewards airdrops unlock on-the-ground exclusives at Consensus including a booth on the show floor, a speaking slot, meetings with Web3 VCs and many others. Not to mention additional partner and artist benefits, exclusive DESK drops and so much more.
All of these benefits for just 1.5 ETH. That’s less than the walk-up price of a Pro pass. Start your mint.
Piranha Pass
The Piranha Pass provides the ultimate Consensus experience fit for true VIPs. Consensus Piranhas enjoy added comfort and community plus exclusive access to stages and events, unique offerings, network opportunities and more.
The exclusive Piranha Lounge is a peaceful place for Piranhas to relax and regroup between sessions. There, you can take part in exclusive talks with CoinDesk Chief Content Officer Michael Casey, utilize a concierge service to make the most of your time in Austin, enjoy complimentary food and beverages, participate in wellness activities and so much more.
Student Pass
This is one of our least-nebulous pass types. The student pass is for ... you guessed it. students. The Student Pass provides Two-Day pass benefits at a discounted rate ($189) for anyone with valid student or faculty identification.

Developer Pass
The Developer Pass is also pretty straightforward. Computer programmers, blockchain developers, coders, open-source contributors and Web3 builders are welcome to take advantage of this discounted pass ($189) that includes all the benefits of the Pro pass.
This means you get exclusive access to programming at the Protocol Village a day early on Wednesday, April 26, where there will be content covering macro themes that touch all protocols such as scalability and cross-chain interoperability.
