This article takes you back to the highlights of NFT Taipei.

The Taiwan 2023 blockchain event "NFT Taipei" officially concluded last weekend at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei. As a landmark NFT event, it brought together top leaders in Web 3 from more than 30 countries, project parties, and dozens of emerging artists and blue-chip NFTs, attracting nearly 10,000 participants. This article takes you back to the highlights of NFT Taipei.

The star-studded NFT Taipei International Forum

The diverse topics of this international forum include: Web3 market development trends, the integration of AI with blockchain, the role of ESG in blockchain, the impact of regulations on NFTs, and the digitization of art… and invited many heavyweight figures.

Yat Siu, the founder of Animoca Brands, elaborated on the importance of global Web3 development, pointing out that centralized enterprises of the Web2 era such as OpenAI, Apple, Facebook… have control over a large amount of user data, creating global inequality.

The rise of blockchain and Web3 has reignited hope and opportunities for young people who were pessimistic about the future. The concept of decentralization has allowed them to see the possibility of changing the status quo and achieving rise.

Yat Siu believes that the essence of NFT is more like an extension of human culture, and compared it to the blue-chip Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Hermès Birkin bag: "The act of purchasing NFTs is similar to buying luxury bags, and the motivation is not entirely based on the practicality of the product, but more as a symbol of status and identity."

Yuki Ueno, the Chief Strategy Officer of the Japanese project Akiverse, also discussed the challenges of GameFi. He pointed out that in the past, games lacked content and focused too much on short-term cash flow, lacking long-term vision. He called for the integration of social innovation, such as public services, to make game content more diverse and rich.

Sun Yuchen, the founder of TRON and CEO of Huobi, also rarely described his imagination of NFT art. He believes that every generation will express and define themselves through unique artistic means, and that on-chain art represents the creativity and vision of our generation. The establishment of the NFT ecosystem is the formation of a new social consciousness.

Apart from finance, why do we need Web3?

In addition to financial applications, how else can blockchain change our lives?

Lin Juncheng, the founder of Gan Le Culture and Creativity, raised an interesting point. He mentioned that currently in Taiwan, non-genetically modified soybeans may actually only be 1% non-GMO, but through the transparency and tamper-proof advantages of blockchain, it may become the key to redefining local regeneration.

Zhao Shilong, Director of the Information Bureau of the Taipei City Government, also shared the spirit of open governance that we can learn from Web3. He cited the experience of creating a mask map in the past as an example, stating that it was not created by the government itself, but was created spontaneously by the private sector, with the government providing some tools and APIs.

The Taipei City Dashboard Open Source Code Project aims to create an Android dashboard, allowing similar experiences to be inherited and extended to more aspects, combined with the Taipei Pass microservice to expand the co-creation between the city government and the private sector.

Gavin Lee, the founder of LikeCoin, also pointed out: "Democracy should not be limited to elections and voting." He believes that the operation of DAO should not depend on the registration of any specific country or government, and with its complete transparency of information and assets, DAO may be the ideal model for achieving digital democracy.

OneOffs Fair & Fest
