Taipei Blockchain Week Kicks Off, Web3 Trend Exchange Forum Officially Unveiled
Taipei Blockchain Week kicked off this week with great fanfare! It gathered blockchain experts and pioneers in the Web3 field from around the world to discuss the development trends of the next-generation internet. On the evening of the 12th, OKX Ventures, together with well-known Web3 projects and investment institutions such as SUI, Spacenation, Kronos Research, Orderly Network, Memecore, UXLink, Yei Finance, and Copex, co-hosted an invitation-only event called "NIGHT OF THE FUTURE". At the event, there were keynote speeches and fireside chats to deeply explore the future development direction and trends of the crypto industry and Web3. In addition to discussing industry frontiers, OKX Ventures also held various fun activities on-site, with well-known Gamefi international projects like Memefi and Spacenation showcasing the latest blockchain games for guests to experience. They also prepared a tech-savvy opening dance and a fun cocktail menu and cuisine, inviting the guests to enjoy. The event was attended by over 500 people, making it the invitation-only event with the highest attendance on the first day of TBW.
During the event, OKX Ventures partner Jeff Ren emphasized in his opening speech "NOW and FUTURE of OKX Ventures" that the mission of OKX Ventures is to explore and invest in innovative Bit projects globally, promoting the sustainable development of the entire industry. As an investment institution that has been deeply involved in the Bit industry for many years, we adhere to the strategy of "innovation + empowerment", and through the integration of OKX's core resources - including traffic support, trading services, public chain technology, and comprehensive technical support - we have built a complete resource ecosystem to provide comprehensive support for invested projects from the early stage to the critical development nodes. More importantly, OKX Ventures is not just a financial investor, but also plays the dual roles of "discoverer" and "enabler".
Mr. Jeff Ren has nearly 20 years of investment experience. He said in his speech that since its inception, we have invested in more than 300 projects covering areas such as Layer1, Layer2, DeFi, AI, and GameFi. 2024 is a year of gradual recovery for the Bit industry, and OKX Ventures completed over 80 investments in this year, covering areas such as the Bit ecosystem, AI, and DePIN (decentralized IoT). OKX Ventures will continue to allocate resources and capital to projects focused on Bit infrastructure, GameFi, DeFi, and Non-Fungible Tokens to drive technological innovation and industry progress.
Ryan He, the marketing manager of Space Nation, gave a keynote speech "the Metaverse: A Journey Beyond Gaming" and showcased the game models and data of Space Nation, discussing the future development of the gaming industry.
Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu, in his keynote speech "Envisioning Crypto in 2025: The Role of Market Makers in Shaping the Future", discussed the constantly changing landscape of the Bit market and the important role of market makers in shaping its future. Vincent emphasized the innovations in decentralized order books and AI tools, which are narrowing the gap between centralized and decentralized systems. Vincent also discussed the growing collaboration between traditional finance and DeFi, which he believes paves the way for more efficient and consolidated models to enhance liquidity and efficiency. As Bit enters mainstream investment portfolios, clearer regulations and smarter infrastructure will create fairer and more accessible markets for everyone.
In addition, Orderly Network co-founder Ran Yi, in his speech "DEXs 3.0: The CEX to DEX transition", pointed out that there is still a lot of room for optimization in current Web3 trading. By combining the advantages of CEX and DEX, and solving existing pain points, the user trading experience can be significantly improved. As a cloud liquidity infrastructure project, Orderly Network focuses on integrating cross-chain derivative liquidity, unifying orders from different chains into on-chain order books, and building a unified cross-chain liquidity ecosystem. This not only effectively solves the problem of fragmented cross-chain liquidity, but also improves trading efficiency, provides deeper liquidity pools, and significantly narrows trading spreads.
In the first fireside chat, DA Captial COO Tim Shen, CopeX Co-founder Paul, and Elite Trading Academy's Alvin discussed "How can communities become a strong backing for user trading?". DA Captial COO Tim Shen believes that for a good trading community, the approach of the DA Trader Alliance is to understand the trading level and age of entry of users, and provide different methods and tools for community users to learn. For new users, more real-time market insights from analysts are needed. We use systematic tutorials to help newcomers avoid scams and use Bit tools correctly, and supplement this with daily live streams to build trust in the community and familiarize them with the Bit market.
CopeX Co-founder Paul said that first, professionalism is the basic requirement in building a community, and KOLs must have a certain understanding of trading to be qualified to lead users. Secondly, education and interaction are also very important. Trading is often a waste of time, and the process is very tedious and boring. How to make users feel interested in the process and continuously provide content to them is a challenge for every community. Finally, tools are also very important. For example, CopeX can help users trade more smoothly, quickly obtain market information, and also make it easier for KOLs and teams to operate the community, which can also become an important incentive to attract users to join the community.
Alvin from the Elite Trading Academy believes that the core of a valuable trading community is the ability to provide reliable information, professional guidance, and valuable discussions.
Here is the English translation of the text, with the terms in <> retained and not translated:In the case of our Elite Trading Academy, leaders must have practical experience, provide accurate market analysis, and help users understand the essence of the market. Moreover, the community is centered on learning, understanding the needs of users, and providing systematic content for beginners or experienced investors. More importantly, the learning environment is a key factor influencing the community. Since the market changes rapidly, it should be able to provide users with timely answers and concepts that allow users to correctly view the market. Furthermore, I believe that the core of community operations is positioning and structural design. Once the positioning is clear, it can attract the corresponding group. The value of the community is not only to provide information, but also to help each user find a direction for growth through good operational strategies, structured learning, a complete knowledge system, long-term practical exercises, and the combination of data and analysis tools, and to make the community itself a long-term partner they can rely on.
