HTX DAO x TRON TOKEN 2049 Afterparty: Leading the Global Web3 Ecosystem for the Next Decade

On September 18 local time, the TOKEN 2049 Afterparty, co-hosted by HTX DAO and TRON, and supported by Alethea AI, Tour Billion, BitWave, ChainGPT, Google Cloud, The Block, and others, was held in Singapore. Sun Yuchen, founder of TRON and global advisor of Huobi HTX, delivered speeches alongside several industry leaders, discussing the future development trends in the Web3 field.

As one of the most influential Web3 summits in the world, TOKEN 2049 brought together industry elites from around the globe. Taking this opportunity, HTX DAO and TRON gathered over 1,100 senior Web3 builders at the grand TOKEN 2049 Afterparty. The event attracted many well-known projects, investment institutions, and crypto KOLs, with media partners including Odaily, BlockBeats, Foresight News, TechFlow, MarsBit, Cointime, DeThings, PANews, Jinse Finance, ChainCatcher, MetaEra, BroadChain, Bitcoin.com, BeInCrypto, Blockopedia, and Monsterblockhk.

At the TOKEN 2049 Afterparty, Sun Yuchen delivered a speech via video link titled "The New Decade: Leading the Global TRON x Huobi HTX Web3 Ecosystem," affirming the achievements of Huobi HTX and TRON while also presenting the future plans for the "dual-engine drive" of the two platforms.

Sun Yuchen stated that blockchain technology has transitioned from concept to reality over the past decade and is changing the world. In this process, both Huobi HTX and TRON have played important roles. He said, "The birth of TRON stems from an in-depth exploration of the infinite possibilities of blockchain technology. We have always adhered to the core values of openness, transparency, and decentralization. As an important partner of TRON, Huobi HTX has jointly promoted the development of the blockchain industry. This year marks the 11th anniversary of Huobi HTX, and being able to continuously build the industry over such a long period is a proud achievement. Huobi HTX insists on long-termism, actively responds to various changes in the market and regulatory environment, and, with a user-first philosophy and a persistent pursuit of security and user experience, remains at the forefront of the industry."

Regarding the next decade of Web3, Sun Yuchen believes that technology and products need to focus more on applications in real scenarios, "including more frequent interactions, more diverse scenarios, smarter AI assistance, and more secure network systems, linking to a larger world." At the same time, "in the coming decade, we will also witness the dual-engine drive effect of TRON and Huobi HTX."

Sun Yuchen mentioned that the TRON ecosystem Meme issuance platform SunPump, launched in August this year, is a case of the dual-engine drive. Born from the fertile on-chain soil of TRON and further growing with the market resources of Huobi HTX, SunPump became a phenomenal Web3 application within just one month of its launch, not only driving an explosion in on-chain trading volume but also utilizing the traffic effect to benefit TRON and Huobi HTX.

"Our ultimate goal is to create a comprehensive Web3 ecosystem that covers payments, investments, social interactions, and more," Sun Yuchen said. "We will focus on activating the TRON ecosystem, attracting more quality DApps and projects, strengthening the interaction between the TRON ecosystem and Huobi HTX, and fully leveraging Huobi HTX's global influence and resource advantages to promote products and services to the global market more quickly and effectively through the integration of TRON's technological innovations and Huobi HTX's market resources."

In addition to Sun Yuchen, several guests from well-known projects and media, including Alethea AI founder and CEO Arif Khan, Tour Billion's Asia-Pacific market head Victor Yap, BitWave co-founder Leo, ChainGPT CMO Sharon Sciammas, and The Block CEO Larry Cermak, also delivered speeches, sharing their observations and future outlooks on the industry, covering popular topics such as AI, DePIN, BTCFI, and GameFi.

As part of Huobi HTX's 11th anniversary celebration, the KOL Glory Battle award ceremony was also held at the TOKEN 2049 Afterparty. This event launched on July 16 this year and concluded perfectly on August 31. During the month-long event, various KOLs and users actively participated, generating a strong response with a total trading volume of up to $7.2 billion and 74,000 voters. Ultimately, 111 KOLs were awarded, sharing a reward of 15,000 USDT. Among them, Yikesqq and OxRasTrack won the title of the most notable global KOL; six individuals, including 初号机的 Web3, kajiQ, Michill, Goldchau.eth, 币世王, and EnHeng, were awarded the most influential KOL.

At TOKEN 2049 in 2023, Huobi HTX announced a brand upgrade on the occasion of its 10th anniversary, taking the first step towards the next decade. Over the past year, Huobi HTX has shown strong growth, with trading volume and liquidity at industry-leading levels, continuously launching innovative products and quality assets. In early August, Huobi HTX's natural ranking on CoinGecko rose to second globally, and it has remained in the Top 3 for several months, indicating steady progress towards its "three major" goals.

This year, participants in the Huobi HTX ecosystem continued to be active at TOKEN 2049.

Huobi HTX's global brand building has achieved initial success and will continue to expand in scale.
