The organizers are grateful to all the participants who traveled to Seoul to participate in the most important crypto event in Asia, as well as the sponsors who made it all possible. The title sponsors for the event were Klaytn, Solana and Wemade.
FactBlock, Hashed and Rok Capital also expressed their sincere gratitude to the 130 speakers who participated in keynotes or panels at the conference.
“At KBW2022: Impact, Web3 was the main agenda, and speeches and panel discussions were held on various detailed topics such as infrastructure, NFT, gaming, Metaverse, DAOs and regulation,” said FactBlock CEO Seonik Jeon. “KBW is a place for blockchain industry leaders worldwide to share insights and discuss the development of blockchain technology. It has now established itself as a global blockchain event outside of Asia.”
“We hope that everyone who attended this event gained valuable information about the latest trends in blockchain technology and major projects in the space,” Jeon added.
Given that the event was based in Korea, many were interested in the Web3 projects coming out of the Korean blockchain scene. The South Korean government has moved to regulate the industry rather than impose an outright ban, giving a much-needed boost to the Web3 ecosystem in the country.
The participants had an exciting week in Seoul. Right after KBW2022:Impact, the official KBW2022 after-party took place in Dongdaemun Design Plaza on the 12th-14th. August, which showcased the hottest EDM, hip-hop and K-pop artists on stage. In addition, the Formula E World Championship took place in Seoul on 13–14 August for the first time in the series’ history. The two-day e-Prix saw 24 of the world’s most talented drivers battle it out to become the first winner on the streets of Seoul.
