Crypto conference attendees in Miami have sparked a social media outcry over hygiene standards during Consensus 2026, one of the industry’s largest summits. Consequently, complaints about a pervasive lack of deodorant use dominated online discussions, as multiple influencers reported unpleasant odors. Helius Labs CEO Mert Mumtaz asked on X, “what is it with crypto mfers and not knowing what deodorant is.”
Meanwhile, influencer “Liv” noted that some men had a “5 feet radius” of odor at events hosted by Solana, Pengu, and Tessera Lab. However, other users echoed this sentiment, claiming girls often complain that conference men stink. Conversely, influencer “Bangerz” praised specific events for being odor-free and smelling like Italian pasta.
The problem appears recurrent, as influencer “Gigi” has complained previously about the same issue. Consequently, some users suggested gift packages with deodorant, while others joked about smell checks by security. High temperatures likely contribute, with Miami hitting over 30°C and Dubai’s Token2049 in 2025 reaching over 40°C.
Mumtaz had earlier warned Dubai attendees to wear deodorant. He jokingly threatened to call police on those without it, stating it was nothing personal.
