In-Depth Layout of Developer Ecology: HTX DAO Appeared at GWDC 2026 and Delivered a Keynote Speech

As one of the highlights of this trip to Hong Kong, from February 8 to 9, HTX DAO made a significant appearance as a gold sponsor at the Global Web3 Developer Conference (GWDC 2026) held at Hong Kong Cyberport.

At the conference, HTX DAO ambassador Molly delivered an in-depth speech titled "The Path of DAO: Decentralization without Dogma," systematically explaining HTX DAO's rethinking and practical path regarding the concept of a "People's Exchange."

Molly revealed that over the past two years, the team has attempted to directly decide major issues through user voting in the process of practicing the concept of a "People's Exchange," such as proposals to destroy 99% of tokens. However, these practices exposed the limitations of "dogmatic decentralization": if only pursuing formal democracy, it is easy to be swept away by short-term emotions, contrary to the essence of sustainable development. Subsequently, a consensus gradually formed within the community: price cannot gain long-term support through emotional proposals or radical operations; what truly determines value is a robust economic model, sustainable application scenarios, and the stability of the holder structure.

Based on this understanding, HTX DAO has focused on promoting three aspects of construction over more than two years. First, improve the economic model by establishing a transparent deflationary mechanism, using 50% of Huobi HTX's quarterly revenue to destroy $HTX and writing it into the white paper, regularly disclosing revenue and destruction data to institutionalize market trust. Second, promote the construction of on-chain governance mechanisms, retaining community participation while avoiding dogmatic "decentralization for the sake of decentralization" formalism. Third, shape a long-term community culture, embedding revenue mechanisms related to users' interests into the governance framework, allowing holders to achieve actual returns in asset growth and risk hedging.

Data shows that the number of HTX DAO holding addresses has grown from about 40,000 in the early stages to over 800,000, continuously expanding the holder base. Against the backdrop of market volatility, $HTX has shown relatively robust characteristics, reflecting the defensive attributes of its model design. Meanwhile, the team has conducted dozens of offline activities worldwide, covering multiple countries and regions, strengthening direct connections with users, and advancing the DAO concept from concept to practice.

Molly also revealed that in 2026, HTX DAO will launch three major actions:

• Open the developer ecosystem: open on-chain product interfaces to global developers, incentivizing innovation through a co-build and share model;
• Incubate new narratives: establish special organizations and provide funding and manpower support for emerging tracks such as RWA;
• Build an HTX DAO cultural system: improve volunteer systems and ambassador mechanisms, promote community culture construction, and attract diverse talent backgrounds to participate in DAO governance.

In addition to the developer conference, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO also made significant appearances at multiple high-profile peripheral events, further expanding the global ecological landscape.

In this gathering of top Alpha hunters and institutional investors, the HTX Ventures team established deep connections with many potential projects, showcasing their keen insight in discovering quality early-stage assets.

Following that, on February 10, at the "Build and Scale in 2026" thematic forum jointly held by ChainCatcher, RootData, and Alibaba Cloud, HTX DAO participated as a brand-certified partner.

During this trip to Hong Kong, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO fully demonstrated their comprehensive industry penetration in the Web3 field. In the future, both sides will continue to uphold the vision of "building a Web3 financial free port," leading the industry through continuous ecological investment and industry collaboration to navigate cycles and embrace the next golden age of the crypto world.
