Keynote address
RootData Business Leader Max Zhou gave a keynote address entitled " Trust as Infrastructure: How Data Transparency Reshaping the New Web3 Cycle " 。
According to Max Zhou, transparency is no longer a “plus-subsection”, but a threshold for institutional, regulatory and user access. RootData, located as the leading Web3 enterprise data platform, quantifys the completeness and credibility of project information through financing data, personal relationship mapping and industry's only transparency rating system。
He explained that RootData had recorded over 9,600 financing events, over 18,000 key players in the industry, and that the A-F-5 rating of 19,000+ projects had been an important reference point for the agency ' s evaluation of listing with the exchange. The Platform has established ecological cooperation with 220+ institutions such as Binance Wallet, OKX, ByBit and others。
In addition, RootData has launched an exchange three-dimensional assessment model (liquidity + asset value + transparency) that rejects the “trade-only quantum theory”. Max Zhou stressed that transparency was becoming the new web3 axis, as essential as security audits。
Mona Digital Co-founder and CEO FounderGoongye FengPublished under"THE AI EMPOWERMENT OF THE SMART ECONOMY"The keynote speech。
Feng noted that what disappeared after 2022 was not digital asset demand, but market confidence in the way capital entered. Monera Digital is located in the AI private bank for the intelligent economy, with the core not using AI as a trader, but as an accelerator, compressing research, testing and iterative cycles from months to days。
He stressed that risk control must be institutionalized rather than individualized. Mona constructed four lines of defence: source-bound exposure and collateral, automated liquidation and bond management, complete segregation of customer assets, elimination of dyslexia and maintenance of a liquidity buffer. In addition, AI plays the 24/7 number CRO to achieve a leap from passive monitoring to active early warning。
In the service model, Monera does not act as a purely technical platform, but rather insists on "anti-AI illusions", which are responsible for optimization and efficiency, while trust, responsibility and continuity of relationships remain with people. In Feng ' s view, the prerequisite for an encrypted asset to truly become a configurable asset is to translate complexity into clear, continuous and credible private banking services。
Alan Nie, an industrial architect of the telecommunication cloud, delivered a keynote address entitled " Cloud+AI Double Engine: telecommunication cloud-assisted Web3 New Growth " 。
Alan Nie noted that Web3 enterprises face three major bottlenecks in globalized infrastructure, R & D efficiency and business intelligence. Tunnel clouds are integrated in depth through the twin engines of Cloud+AI to provide low-delayed infrastructure with global coverage. Of these, the Singapore machine room is the only cloud manufacturer in the world to provide 4 available areas, and self-study of the TDSQL-C database allows for second-level elastic expansion, with the Redis single node performance of 300,000+。
With regard to AI empowerment, the launch of CodeBuddy (AI twinning programmer) and WorldBudy (Personal AI Assistant) will automatically generate code, batch processing of office files, organize minutes and support multiple Agent in parallel complex tasks. In the financial scene, the automated retaliation cycle has been reduced from 3 days to half-day; the storage cost has been reduced to 1/10 in the chain of data analysis and the response to queries has reached milliseconds。
Alan Nie states that the telecommunication cloud is dedicated to building the next generation of intelligent economic infrastructure with a twin engine, the Cloud+AI, and the Web3 Enterprise。
Alchemy Pay Head of Ecology Arda Senoz delivered the keynote address entitled " Bridging the Fiat and Cripto Global Communities " 。
Arda Senoz highlighted the recent launch of Alchemy Chain, whose core values are access to the wallet, the business and the payment partners. ACH tokens assume the three main functions of Gas Fees, Incentives and Governance on the chain. According to the technology road map, in 2025 Q4 will pay off core and ACH fees, in 2026 Q1 will advance liquidity and interoperability, and in 2026 Q2 plans to issue Alchemy Chain stabilization currency and establish payment corridors。
Arda stressed that Alchemy Pay had always adhered to compliance and safe product lines, promoting the mainstreaming of digital assets through innovative programmes such as RWA integration, and truly achieving seamless connectivity between the French currency and the encrypted economy。
Lotus Technology Inc. CFO Dr. Daxue Wang gave a keynote address entitled " Encrypted Linked Physical Industries, Smart Traveling on Chains " 。
Dr. Daxue Wang indicates that intelligent travel is a pioneer vehicle in the intelligent economy, and Lotus, a 78-year-old luxurious electric car brand, has been listed on the market in NASDAQ and is actively exploring the deep integration of encryption technology with the real industry. He proposed three main directions for integration:
THE FIRST IS THE PROTECTION OF DATA VALUES, THE USE OF BLOCK CHAINS THAT CANNOT BE TAMPERED WITH TO CALCULATE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF PRIVACY, GIVE USERS ABSOLUTE CONTROL OVER PERSONAL DATA AND ACHIEVE A CREDIBLE FLOW OF DATA AND VALUE. THE SECOND IS THE RELEASE OF ASSET VALUES TO EXPLORE THE EFFICIENT CIRCULATION AND FAIR TRADE OF ASSETS SUCH AS VEHICLE SALES, BRAND VALUES, PATENTS ON SMART DRIVING TECHNOLOGIES, GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS, AND THE PROMOTION OF A CREDIBLE TRACE OF GREEN MOVING CARBON ASSETS THROUGH RWA. THIRDLY, ECOLOGICAL VALUES ARE CO-FOUNDED BY RECORDING TRAVEL, CHARGING, MAINTENANCE, ETC., THROUGH SMART NODES ON THE CHAIN, WHERE USERS ARE EMPOWERED TO UPGRADE FROM “OWNERS” TO “PARTICIPANTS IN BRAND ECOLOGY”。
Dr. Daxue Wang pointed out that current challenges include compliance, technological suitability and ecological co-existence, but that the opportunity lies in opening up cooperation to promote smart mobility as a real location for an intelligent economy. Lotus hopes to work with encrypted ecology to realize the vision of “from buying a Lotus car to sharing the value of the growth of Lutes technology”。
Round-table discussions
A round-table discussion on the theme “AI x Cripto — the bottom of the next generation of digital economy” was held by guests of Kitai Asia-Pacific, Laughing, Setient Asia-Pacific, Anita, Brevis Co-founder and CEO Michael, Mentis Product Manager, Jerry, Predict. fun Asia-Pacific BD Officer, Ahun Ricardo。
With regard to whether the outbreak of open source AI Agent (e.g. “crawfish raising”) is a short-term mood or a long-term trend, Laughing argues that it marks the beginning of a long-term trend in the paradigm shift of AI from a “dialogue” to an “implementing” paradigm, but Agent has no physical identity and it is difficult for businesses to trust its trading behaviour, and data disclosure and uncontrollable issues remain obstacles to scale. In the context of its own use experience, Jerry points out that there are security risks such as vague memory, dead circulation consumption, token and document deletions at the present time, and that the emerging Agent is still shortboard, although it has improved. According to Wong Ricardo, short-term emotions are based on real user needs, but really profitable transactions are still very rare and have a long way to go。
In response to core bottlenecks such as trust, security and verifiability, Michael stressed that the current Agent implementation process was like a black box, that users could not verify that their decisions were being implemented as promised, and that zero-knowledge technology could mathematically prove Agent ' s export origin and behavioural compliance without exposing privacy. Anita adds that Setient is committed to building an open and collaborative AI proxy network that promotes the deep integration of AI with the block chain at the identity, data and incentive levels to provide the bottom support for the next generation of digital economies。
With regard to the first possible scale of applications, there was a general view among the guests that the programming area was relatively mature, and that Agent was better at predicting the market than humans for reasons of rationality and non-emotionalization. In the short term, API Marketplace and Trans-platform Consumer shopping Agent, with a medium-term focus on content creation AI (e.g. AI Netred), while Agent-to-Agent's interactive and Agent/Skill's Marketplace is considered an important successor。
Sign Partner Sarah, HashKey Chain Senior Business Outreach YuYi, Chairman of Ecology, Monad, Harvey Chen, Chief Marketing Officer, OmenX Gisele, SVP Chain Market Leader Celest, among others, held a round-table discussion around “Crypto Value Revaluation and New Cycle”。
With regard to the reasons why, in the heat of AI, Crypto remained firmly on the bet, Sarah noted that the more the AI fire, the more Crypto assets were used, the more future transactions between AI Agent had to rely on digital assets. YuYi argues that Bear Town is just a wave of sand, that compliance with RWA (such as Hong Kong ' s first silver in kind currency) is on the ground, that speculative assets have been phased out and that the age of chain infrastructure has come. Harvey Chen says that high-performance public chains are the basis for large-scale applications, and Monad is working on it. Gisele noted that Cripto addresses equity and value flow, and AI addresses efficiency issues. Celest stressed that the more AI develops without a system of original values, the more Crypto is required to provide value recognition and decentrized trust。
With regard to the change in the understanding of Cripto values, the panellists agreed that the industry was moving from “currency issuance” to a sustainable business model, focusing more on real values such as financial efficiency, low cost, round-the-clock settlement, etc. The value of the public chain should be based on the real business landscape and the volume of user transactions, not narratives and financing。
WITH REGARD TO PROPOSALS FOR FUTURE GROWTH ENGINES AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP, THE GUESTS GENERALLY LOOKED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE RWA, AI PAYMENTS AND SOVEREIGN BLOCK CHAIN, SUGGESTING THAT ENTREPRENEURS FOCUS ON REAL APPLICATIONS, AVOID THE CONCEPT OF VOID AND MAINTAIN A LONG-TERM CONSTRUCTION MENTALITY。
