April was a fruitful month for the Kroma Team! After attending Token2049 in Dubai, we attended the Southeast Asia Blockchain Week (SEABW) in Bangkok from April 24th to 28th and networked with like-minded professionals.
Panel Discussion by Derek Chang, COO of Kroma
The panel session was about the transformative impact of L2 on blockchain adoption. It was a great honor to share the stage and exchange insights with Mark Veer (Head of BD from Mantel), Ben Wan (CCO from Taiko), Kin Wai Lau (Founder of zkCandy), and David (General Partner of Kronos Ventures)!
The panel began by comparing the existing Layer 2 infrastructure. Optimistic rollups were praised for their EVM compatibility but criticized for the one-week challenge period, while ZK rollups offer almost instant finality but lack EVM compatibility.
They also discussed Ethereumâs future, noting the proliferation of Layer 2 solutions, each with different goals and potential success rates. Lastly, Derek emphasized the importance of balancing technology and go-to-market strategies in building an L2. While good technology is crucial, adoption is equally vital for success.
Kromaâs Booth at SEABW
Hosting a booth was always bittersweet. While it presented a great opportunity to connect with partners and potential collaborators, operating it was never easy!
However, we were thrilled to see the interest in Kroma from other projects. Some even approached us after Derekâs panel to learn more about our project. Most were particularly curious about the kind of support Kroma provides. We are committed to assisting projects through onboarding and building a vibrant game-centric ecosystem by offering lower transaction fees and fast finality.
P.S. Our Business Development lead, Kevin, was interviewed by YGG Philippines! đ Stay tuned for more Kroma merch or if you have any ideas for merch we should create, please let us know!
