With Consensus Hong Kong 2026 coming to a successful close today, the most impactful and dazzling protagonist of this year's event has undoubtedly emerged – SEALCOIN, a subsidiary of WISeKey International Holding Ltd.
Throughout the three-day conference, SEALCOIN consistently held the spotlight, becoming the absolute core of all discussions. Its influence was particularly amplified at today's (February 12th) Hack Seasons event. Real-time satellite data capture demonstrations, hardware integration with SEALSQ security semiconductors, and real-time interaction with satellites in orbit—all systems functioned flawlessly, leaving the audience in awe. Many attendees remarked, "The DePIN reality scenario of 2026 is being presented in real time." SEALCOIN became the most talked-about and memorable area of the conference at Hack Seasons.
Satellite Airdrop on-site: More than just an event, it was a "real validation."
The Satellite AIRDROP, supported by physical satellite infrastructure, which took place during the conference, has become a "legendary moment" among the participants.
By directly connecting to and capturing data from real-time satellite maps and operational WISeSat satellites, the approach goes beyond simple online following or forwarding interactions. Instead, it is the first time that an innovative practice of interacting with real-world cosmic infrastructure in real time and generating on-chain proofs has been publicly demonstrated.
Developers, builders, and investors who have experienced the process unanimously agree: "DePIN is no longer just a concept, but a real, running system." Participants received QAIT tokens as eligibility, further fueling market expectations for the upcoming TGE.
Consensus Hong Kong 2026 – SEALCOIN Takes Full Control of the Agenda
Throughout the conference, SEALCOIN dominated all the major stages:
- February 9 - The Realized Summit
- February 11th - Web3 Decentralized Circle
- February 12 – Hack Seasons (who actually became the MVP of this year's event)
- February 12 – AI Day (Web3 × Nasdaq-listed companies × Family offices)
The most exciting and impactful event was undoubtedly Hack Seasons. The live demo and on-site presentation ignited the atmosphere, with many attendees saying, "The real game is just beginning."
"The era of connectivity is over; the era of execution is over."
Jonathan Llamas, Chief Product and Strategy Officer of SEALCOIN, stated on the Hack Seasons stage:
"Over the past few years, we've been solving the problem of 'connectivity.' Now, that problem has been solved. From now on, it's a competition of 'execution.' Machines can autonomously and securely complete transactions and settle results, operating freely between the physical and digital worlds. What we're demonstrating today is precisely this reality."
