This article is the core content record of "Web3.0 Integration and Development | Lisbon Blockchain Technology Summit" on November 6:
Opening speech "Neo N3: Building Blocks to The Web3.0":
Da Hongfei, the founder of Neo, said that N3 is the latest version of the Neo blockchain, and it is also the most important upgrade of the Neo blockchain so far. In the public chain track, in addition to technical competition such as performance and security, ecological construction is also a crucial part of the competition. Neo provides strong support, providing developers with native components, cross-chain and development tools, etc. In terms of funds, it has launched programs such as N3 Early Adoption, which provides more than ten million dollars in support for selected projects to encourage development Participants jointly build the N3 ecology.
Keynote Speech 1 "Building a Bridge between Cryptocurrency and Fiat Currency Global Economy":
Karmen Tang, communication director of Alchemy Pay, said that encrypted payments will become a future development trend. The technology and infrastructure behind cryptocurrencies are developing at a high speed. Countries with high inflation such as El Salvador are using cryptocurrencies as legal tender. Both McDonald's and Starbucks can use Bitcoin to pay, which was unimaginable two years ago. Accepting cryptocurrencies and DeFi will not only alleviate inflation, but also change the way we pay. 2021 is the era of cryptocurrency.
Keynote Speech 2 "N3 Empowering Smart Economy - Journey of Faith and Vision":
Neo N3 is an upgrade of the Neo protocol layer, said Lili Zhao, Neo’s head of global development. Neo builds a solid infrastructure layer and application layer through the agreement. In the future, it will devote itself to the expansion and development of infrastructure. Now is the best time for all developers to join Neo, and everyone is welcome to join the Neo ecosystem. In addition, developers and different projects can apply for Neo development funding sponsorship.
Keynote Speech 3 "PlatON - Trustless AI Network":
James Qu, Chief Technology Officer of PlatON, said that in this era, data is so important, and all data is protected by computing. Data is the core factor of production and the core of the PlatON ecosystem. PlatON has a complete strategic deployment and has invested a lot of money in underlying technology, privacy computing technology, and artificial intelligence technology. PlatON is committed to providing development space for different ecologies, and the team is also continuing to improve various infrastructures and empower more top-level applications through private computing.
Keynote Speech 4 "Cross the ages project-a digital collectible card game":
Sami Chlagou, CEO of Cross The Ages, said that our company has many offices in Budapest, Japan and other regions, and we have released more than 50 games. An important element in the game "Cross the ages" is NFT. A total of 68 artists from Marvel, Avatar and other games participated in the design of the game. Some designers have already sold these NFTs online, and the price has reached 20-30ETH, which shows the popularity of the game.
Keynote Speech 5 "Blockchain Technology Empowers Metaverse":
Blair Z, chief operating officer of X Protocol, said that Metaverse is an immersive virtual world close to reality, and a future open network world. This attribute, which spans the physical world and the digital world, is naturally suitable for the inclusion of blockchain technology. Not only does it enable user data, digital goods, content, and intellectual property to circulate in the Metaverse, but it also allows users and companies to create content and goods, which in turn makes it more prosperous. More importantly, blockchain technology can also create a fully operational economic system in the metaverse that is connected to the real world.
Roundtable 1 "Cryptocurrency Status and Adoption in Asia and Europe":
Odd Jørgen, co-founder of MyMingo, said that in Russia and Ukraine, they don’t really follow the approach of EU regulators and local regulators, they look at cryptocurrencies in their own way. However, local Russian regulators don’t want people to hold cryptocurrencies, or get people on crypto exchanges, so they will be more cautious. But at the same time, Russia is one of the largest crypto markets.
Vitalis Elkins, chief operating officer at Tradelize, said Europe was very different. The UK has certainly driven the adoption of cryptocurrencies in Europe. As far as I know, more than 5% of the population in the UK owns cryptocurrencies, probably more than Germany, Switzerland and other European countries. I think regulators should regulate cryptocurrencies, regulation takes time. This is a good thing. We don't want the state to allow something one day and ban it tomorrow.
Gleb Kostarev, head of Eastern Europe at Binance, said that cryptocurrency is a disruptive technology that is developing rapidly. So if regulators "wait 10 years" to regulate, it will be too late. The technology is too big, like bitcoin is now, to be regulated. Also, we really want to lower the barriers to entry. We want to help people feel safe in the crypto space. We need to keep it simple, we need to make it accessible to everyone. This will be our main goal.
“I think you need to be friendly with the regulators, you need to talk to them,” said Lili Zhao, Neo’s head of global development. I think it's still difficult for Ukraine and Russia. Difficulty adopting cryptocurrency in Russia and Ukraine, and how to make it safe. On the regulatory side, we always work with regulators because cryptocurrencies are generating huge volumes.
Roundtable 2 "Cryptocurrency as an Alternative Investment":
Anthony Yoon, head of FTX business, said, I think alternative investment is another investment option, such as cryptocurrency. We have all seen the growing interest in cryptocurrencies over the past year, both from institutional and individual investors. Investment in encrypted assets is a bit like hedge funds, because hedge funds are alternative investments in traditional fields, and hedge funds will invest in cryptocurrencies in the future.
Christophe de Courson, CEO of Mensis Capital Singapore, said that traditionally, the richer the portfolio, the better. NFT is an opportunity for us to open the mainstream market, and it is a good turning point because it is very easy to understand. The reason we don't like traditional institutions is because of their centralized management, however in the crypto space, sometimes individuals have more influence.
LongeVC managing partner Garri Zmudze expressed the hope that cryptocurrencies can help us defeat disease. Cryptocurrencies are more risky, but the rate of return is relatively high. I represent the biotech industry, they have a low acceptance of cryptocurrencies, don't know when this situation will improve. In the next five years we plan to introduce cryptocurrencies and hope that our new projects will increase our integration with blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
Round Table 3 "The V Factor of the Next Unicorn":
Niek van der Voort, chief operating officer of MetaMundo, said that under the epidemic, companies with a market capitalization of billions of dollars cannot be called crypto unicorns, and must reach at least tens of billions of dollars. Every company should have huge ambitions to differentiate itself from traditional companies. A good unicorn company can really solve problems and have a good team.
DFL Erwin, head of the DeFi Land team, said that the current crypto unicorns pay more attention to the user experience, while before everyone focused on functionality and practicality. With good experience and an excellent founding team, the products developed can be liked by everyone. Products that solve usability problems will also be welcome. I think we should focus on community development, because the community is the foundation of a project.
Martin Best, co-founder of Parsiq, said that the current unicorn companies have fierce competition, and they have the potential to grow into a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars. I think we can properly focus on the token economics of a product or protocol. In addition, people like to use the most convenient and simple products, and now many people use products for the convenience of life. It's like people accept Solana because of the convenience of using this product.
Round Table 4 "Why the Metaverse Matters":
Near founder Illia Polosukhin said that if our goal is to achieve mass adoption of the metaverse and prevent people from being scammed, we need a self-regulatory way to develop frameworks and principles that people can easily understand and make product improvements, It would be nice to be able to spot criminal activity and scams etc early on, because we can't educate everyone in the world, most people don't know how financial systems and computers work, and we need to make sure that all the technology we build works somewhere It's infallible to a certain extent.
Eric Benz, partner of Mynt.vc, said, I think the metaverse is a very interesting opportunity to see a very technical field, this field does not exist boundaries and restrictions, we can enter and create an exponential human Experience, do more efficient, lower cost and more interesting things. This is the Metaverse, and it's breaking down a lot of the friction and a lot of the barriers that we have in the technology we use today.
Sami Chlagou, co-founder and CEO of Cross The Ages, said that the metaverse will completely change everything. In perhaps less than two years, we will use completely different things to create the world. The new crown pneumonia pandemic has accelerated our use of the metaverse. Way. Additionally, he also stated that it's only a matter of time before something very impressive happens in the Metaverse.
