Recently, the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Festival announced that the TON Foundation has confirmed to become the title sponsor and Side Event host of the annual Web3 event - the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Festival. On April 8, the TON ecosystem will present a themed Side Event on the Main Stage, showcasing the latest technological breakthroughs and development achievements of the TON ecosystem, and announcing a series of major new ecosystem collaborations and cross-chain bridges.

The Foundation plays a key role in driving TON community innovation by supporting protocol development, platform upgrades and ecosystem building. As an open-source project, the TON network is not affiliated with any entity and remains open to global developers for collaboration.
The TON Ecosystem Day event on April 8 is the largest TON ecosystem conference in the Asia-Pacific region this year, with over 30 TON ecosystem guests from the Foundation, project parties, and ecosystem partners taking the stage to bring the TON community global exchanges, application demonstrations and future plans.
This collaboration not only uses the Web3 Festival as a platform to showcase the latest developments of the TON Foundation and TON ecosystem to Asia and the world, but also injects new vitality into the development of Hong Kong's Web3 industry! From April 6 to 9, in the main venue of the Hong Kong Web3 Festival, TON will present the full strength of its ecosystem through a 216-square-meter title sponsor exhibition area, showcasing 20 outstanding TON ecosystem projects spanning mini-games, AI Agents, PayFi, advertising, social, DePIN, e-commerce and other fields.

The topics not only comprehensively cover Web3 native applications and popular projects, but will also be discussed in depth over 4 days across 4 major venues.
The main venue focuses on core topics each day, while the other three event venues simultaneously present diverse thematic forums. The speakers and topics cover not only Web3 industry hotspots such as regulation, technical infrastructure and public chain ecosystem, AI, DePIN, RWA, PayFi, and crypto finance, but also span across Web2 to Web3, traditional finance, academia, security and privacy, interactive entertainment, and industrial-level application implementation. Furthermore, the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Festival is based on the four seasons, interpreting the Eastern philosophical essence of Web3 spirit through the imagery of traditional Chinese poetry, showcasing the unique narrative of the integration of technology and humanities.
