Through this event, we hope to provide in-depth communication between the world's most trend-savvy minds and the large number of Asian Web3 developers and entrepreneurs, eliminating the information asymmetry that should not exist in this market. We also hope to help you find answers to these questions through this event: "What are the most cutting-edge topics and discussions in Web3 today?" "What directions does the real-time thinking of the mainstream ecosystem encompass?" "Where will the next cycle of innovation and transformation take place?"
