From September 20th to 21st, the fourth Breakpoint was held in Singapore. In addition to the main venue, this conference also featured more than 40 peripheral events. Many well-known founders of ecological projects such as Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, Jason Lau, Chief Innovation Officer of OKX, Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle, and Guy Sheffield, Crypto Lead at Visa, attended the conference.

Breakpoint is the largest and most influential conference in the Solana ecosystem, carrying the expectations of the entire Solana ecosystem for value judgment, future direction, and information exchange on wealth encryption. Following TOKEN2049, Breakpoint once again continued the wave of Web3 in Singapore, providing an unparalleled stage for developers and enthusiasts of the global Solana ecosystem, promoting innovative development and cross-disciplinary cooperation in the Solana ecosystem.

It is worth mentioning that the fermentation period of last year's Breakpoint almost coincided with the explosive cycle of SOL. Will Solana repeat last year's explosive plot this year? In addition, the latest news shows that the next Solana Breakpoint will be held in Abu Dhabi from December 11th to 13th, 2025, which is also highly anticipated.
