The meaning and scope of “cryptocurrency” has shifted significantly since its inception. Today, the term “crypto” generally encompasses a broader definition of digital assets that form a digital asset ecosystem powered by decentralised and encryption technology. In the Web3 era, a robust digital asset ecosystem depends on secure and reliable financial infrastructure, such as digital wallets and decentralised identity (DID) technology. Blockchain technology, as the core underlying technology of Web3, facilitates the implementation of DID technology to prevent disputes and maintains data reliability at a lower cost.
The Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2023 includes five venues with an area of nearly 9,000 square meters. It is expected to attract more than 10,000 on-site participants, more than 300 globally influential speakers, and more than 100 promising Web3 projects, communities and media. Regular tickets for the event are on sale - please go to the official website of the event (www.web3festival.org) to purchase.
