"World's Largest Staking Gathering | Tokyo Station"

The "World's Largest Staking Gathering | Tokyo Station" will be held on August 28, 2024, during Webx at the Prince Park Tower Tokyo. This event is co-hosted by DP CAPITAL, the Japanese cryptocurrency/Web3 entity CoinPost, and the well-known Web3 media ChainCatcher. The aim is to bring together the most secure, best risk-managed, and reliable liquidity Staking projects from around the world to explore the future development trends and opportunities in the Staking business.

Participants from various sectors flocked to the event, creating a vibrant industry atmosphere throughout the venue. As the speeches and forums progressed, a lively brainstorming session on the latest advancements in Staking technology and market analysis unfolded.

In the keynote speech on "The Future Development of AI and DePIN," co-speakers from IO.NET, ATT, sollong, and Compute Labs shared their views on the interaction between AI and DePIN projects. They believe that the combination of AI and DePIN will greatly enhance data processing efficiency, laying a solid foundation for the future data economy. Compute Labs proposed a novel financialized AI model that allows investors to profit from future "currencies"—computing power—by enabling direct access to computing assets and creating computing derivatives. They emphasized that investors currently lack effective ways to directly participate in AI investments, and they are creating a financial ecosystem for AI that allows investors to share in its prosperity.

Regarding the Japanese cryptocurrency investment market, co-speakers from ivs Crypto, SBl vc, Skyland Venture, and DP shared their insights. They noted that current cryptocurrency investments in Japan are mainly focused on decentralized applications (DApps), gaming, and NFTs, particularly projects with innovative technologies and practical application scenarios that attract more investor attention. In the investment process, they place great importance on the project team's background, technical strength, and market prospects, conducting rigorous due diligence and risk assessments. Despite the tightening regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies in Japan in recent years, they believe this still helps promote healthy industry development and attract more investors to the market.

On how foreign cryptocurrency companies can enter the Japanese market, co-speakers from Defimans, Orbiter, AEON, and Webx shared their strategies and experiences. They believe that understanding local cultural factors and consumer behavior is key to success, while establishing partnerships, joint ventures, or setting up local subsidiaries are also important ways to integrate into the local market and build brand image. Despite fierce market competition, they believe that new entrants still have opportunities to establish themselves and succeed in the market through innovation and service quality.

In the keynote speech on "Staking on Solana," speakers from Solana, IO.NET, and DP Capital shared their views on Solana's staking mechanism. They believe that Solana's staking mechanism has unique advantages in terms of efficiency, security, and scalability compared to other major blockchain networks. They introduced top projects on Solana with staking capabilities and demonstrated the calculation and distribution methods of staking rewards. They also stated that they will continue to work on improving staking efficiency, lowering barriers, and expanding application scenarios to attract more validators and delegators to join the network, promoting the prosperous development of the Solana ecosystem.

Additionally, co-speakers from Nubit, Stakestone, and CoinMuse shared their views on the business models of staking in the keynote speech on "The Business Model of Staking." They believe that the main sources of income for staking businesses include staking rewards, transaction fees, and value-added service fees, emphasizing the sustainability of these models in the long term. They stated that they will enhance competitiveness through continuous innovation and improved service quality, actively seeking opportunities for joint development with local Japanese partners to better meet market demands through localization strategies and cultural adaptability.

In addition to the above speeches, the event featured other exciting content.
