In 2017, the third Global Blockchain Summit aimed to promote the arrival of the "Dawn" with the most resolute attitude and belief during a time of hesitation in the industry.

Wangxiang Blockchain Laboratory held the Shanghai Blockchain International Week, including a Hackathon, Demo Day, and the fourth Global Blockchain Summit, focusing the summit discussions on "Technology Exploration," returning to the fundamentals and staying true to the original intention.
2019 marked the beginning of a new decade for the blockchain industry. At this critical historical juncture, the International Week was themed "New Decade, New Starting Point," aiming to gather global forces to jointly open the next decade. The five-day 2019 Shanghai Blockchain International Week attracted nearly 2,000 participants from around the world, with over thirty various blockchain activities initiated by non-hosting parties.
The 2020 Shanghai Blockchain International Week had the theme "Integrated Innovation," focusing on the integration and innovation of blockchain with new digital technologies such as IoT, 5G, AI, and cloud computing.

In 2021, the construction of a digital society and even a digital economy was in full swing. Focusing on the urgent need for industrial transformation, this year's International Week had the theme "Digital Transformation," emphasizing how blockchain can protect data privacy, extract data value, and empower and accelerate the digital transformation of various industries by building a trustworthy digital foundation after integrating and innovating with other digital technologies.
