Recently, the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival announced that the TON Foundation has confirmed its role as the title sponsor and Side Event organizer of the annual Web3 event—the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. On April 8, a special Side Event will be presented on the Main Stage, showcasing the latest technological breakthroughs and development achievements of the TON ecosystem, along with announcements of a series of significant ecological collaborations and cross-chain bridge news.
The TON Foundation was established in 2023 as a non-profit organization headquartered in Switzerland, co-founded by community contributors dedicated to promoting the development of The Open Network (TON). The foundation plays a key role in driving innovation within the TON community by supporting protocol development, platform upgrades, and ecological construction. As an open-source project, the TON network is not affiliated with any entity and remains open for collaboration with developers worldwide.
The TON Ecosystem Day event on April 8 will be the largest ecological conference for TON in the Asia-Pacific region this year, featuring over 30 TON ecosystem guests from the foundation, project parties, and ecological partners who will deliver speeches, bringing a grand event of ecological exchange, application demonstrations, and future plans to the global TON enthusiast community.
This collaboration not only uses the Web3 Carnival as a platform to showcase the latest developments of the TON Foundation and the TON ecosystem to Asia and the world but also injects new vitality into the development of the Hong Kong Web3 industry! From April 6 to 9, at the main venue of the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, TON will present a concentrated display of the entire ecological strength through a 216-square-meter exhibition area as a title sponsor, featuring 20 outstanding TON ecological projects across various fields such as mini-games, AI Agents, PayFi, advertising, social, DePin, and e-commerce.
The Web3 Carnival is a Web3 event brand jointly launched by Wanxiang Blockchain Lab and HashKey Group, organized by W3ME. Confirmed speakers include Paul Chan Mo-po, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Choi Fung-yee, Executive Director of the Investment Products Division of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission; Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum; Xiao Feng, Chairman of Wanxiang Blockchain and Chairman and CEO of HashKey Group; Kenneth Lau, Legislative Council member (Technology and Innovation Sector) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Ma Zhitai, Vice President and Chief Information Officer of WeBank, and Director of WeBank Technology; Shen Jian Guang, Vice President and Chief Economist of JD Group; Haze, co-founder of GMGN; David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine; Kye Gomez, CEO of Swarms; Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation (the order of guests is not ranked), among other elite figures from various fields, who will witness the future landscape of Web3 technological innovation and industrial development alongside tens of thousands of global participants.
It is worth mentioning that this year's carnival venue covers an area of 14,000 square meters, expanding 1.5 times compared to previous years, integrating industry exchange, cutting-edge exploration, and innovative collaboration. The topics will comprehensively cover Web3 native applications and popular projects, and in four days, deep discussions will be held across four major venues.
The daily main venue will focus on core topics, while the other three major activity venues will simultaneously present diverse thematic forums. The speakers and topics will cover not only regulatory issues, technical infrastructure, and public chain ecology, AI, DePin, RWA, PayFi, and crypto finance—key focuses of the Web3 industry—but also span diverse fields from Web2 to Web3, traditional finance, academic institutions, security and privacy, interactive entertainment, and industrial application implementation. Furthermore, the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival will use the four seasons as a narrative thread, interpreting the Eastern philosophical core of the Web3 spirit through traditional Chinese poetry imagery, showcasing a unique narrative that blends technology and culture.
