This tip proposal goes out to Zoé Meckbach, Global Head Ambassador of Events for Polkadot, who recently moderated the Polkadot Foundations stage during [Consensus by Coindesk](https://www.coindesk.com/tag/consensus-2022/) conference in Austin, TX on June 11th 2022. 

Overall the Polkadot stage during Consensus was a great success for the whole Polkadot ecosystem. The room was packed with over 200 people and many attendees came up to the speakers after their presentations. It was also a great experience to have Zoé moderating the stage. As a very active member and global head ambassador of Polkadot she gave special insights of the ecosystem and introduced each speaker on a personal note. Such an environment would have not been able to be created with an outside ecosystem moderator. 

**About Foundations stage:**

Foundations is a program within Consensus designed to put the spotlight on thriving blockchain ecosystems. It’s a chance for protocols and projects to design a series of conference sessions specifically aimed at their community: which means developers and other technical contributors as well as the investors, customers and founders. 

Foundations at Consensus was distributed in 2020 with over 20 projects and ecosystems involved. 

**Programme:**

The foundation stage was a programme of 90 minutes and moderated by Zoé. It started with five ecosystem talks, 5 minutes each. A customized intro of each parachain project with ecosystem insights was moderated by Zoé. 

**Ecosystem Spotlight, 30 minutes:**

1. Acala, Dan Reecer, Chief Growth Officer, dan@acala.network , **“Acala’s DeFi platform and the aUSD stablecoin”**

2. Phala Network, Marvin Tong, Co-Founder - **metaverse infra + soulbound NFTs** 

3. Composable Finance, 0xbrainjar, Founder and CEO, **"Composable Finance: The Interoperable Infrastructure for Modular DeFi Functionality”** 

4. Unique Network, Charu Sethi, CMO,  **"A scalable blockchain for composable NFTs with advanced economies"**

4. Rodrigo Gallegos Anda - Product Manager Litentry, **"Tangible identity without being seen!"**

Then three longer sessions were presented with respective intros and professional moderation as well.
