On September 11, the Schelling Point conference, co-hosted by OKX Ventures, Gitcoin, BlockBooster, and CollegeDAO, officially opened in downtown Singapore. The conference is sponsored by Alchemy Pay, Allinfra, Aki Network, Ethereum Climate Platform, EthSign, OctantApp, Smart Token Labs, and VitaDAO, with special support from the crypto media Bankless. The conference topics cover open-source technology, the application of blockchain technology in environmental protection, fair funding mechanisms, and how Web3 technology can revolutionize the education industry.

OKX Ventures partner Jeff Ren and Gitcoin's impact lead Azeem Khan delivered keynote speeches and discussed some of the above topics.

OKX Ventures partner Jeff Ren stated: "The digital financial product market and the carbon market have many similarities; both are in their early stages and have abstract qualities. DAO organizations must collaborate with large companies by understanding how to interact, respond collaboratively, and deliver community-beneficial outcomes. Our goal is to set an example to demonstrate the capability of DAO organizations to effectively collaborate with large entities."

Gitcoin's impact lead Azeem Khan stated: "Schelling Point is a very good bridge; Web3 needs more organizations like this to help enhance connections among the global Web3 community. This will allow us to truly unite, and they have the funding and interest to address global blockchain sustainability issues, which will benefit the advancement of the global Web3 industry."

BlockBooster co-founder Samuel stated: "As a continuous supporter of OKX Ventures and Gitcoin, BlockBooster is excited about the success of Schelling Point. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with developers to create great things together."

It is reported that Schelling Point is a conference led by the Gitcoin community on the Ethereum open-source platform, focusing on technology, culture, humanity, and climate change. It is held annually in different regions around the world, and this is the first time Schelling Point has taken place in Asia. Gitcoin is dedicated to providing rewards and incentives for developers, designers, and others contributing to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Its main goal is to help open-source projects secure funding while encouraging more people to participate in the development of these projects.

The conference also held discussions and panel talks on other topics, such as digital innovation in green finance, Web3 grants, and gaming. Uniswap's business development lead Nidhi Chanbhag pointed out the importance of convenience and security in Web3 products during the panel discussion on "How to Guide the Next Billion Users," as well as the use of real-world assets on the blockchain, such as carbon credits. Ethereal Ventures managing partner Min Teo also expressed his excitement about payment infrastructure and the broader application of Web3 during the panel discussion.
