We were thrilled to host the second Asia’s Superchain Pioneers event in Seoul during the Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), one of the largest blockchain conferences in Asia.🙌
After the success of the first event in Japan, we were excited to bring together some of the brightest minds in the industry to discuss the future of blockchain interoperability, scalability, and user adoption.
Event Overview🔎
The event saw overwhelming enthusiasm from the Superchain community, with over 600 applications received, showcasing the excitement and eagerness to engage with the Superchain ecosystem. This edition was co-hosted with Optimism, along with Mint Blockchain ☘️, Gameswift, and Orderly. The event was generously sponsored by Manta Network and Soneium.
However, we had a bit of unfortunate news 😢 — Marine, Infra Partnership Lead at Optimism, was scheduled to deliver keynote speeches and participate in a panel discussion but could not attend due to an unexpected emergency. The Gameswift representative also couldn’t make it for similar reasons. Despite this, the event was still packed with engaging talks, valuable discussions, and meaningful networking opportunities.
Super Snacks, Superchain Vibes🍪
Before we delved into the sessions, we treated everyone to a bit of Superchain fun with our signature Superchain cookies and drinks! Attendees enjoyed these delicious treats while networking with fellow blockchain enthusiasts, leaders, and innovators. The atmosphere was vibrant and filled with excitement as participants mingled and shared ideas.
Project Lightning Talks⚡️
The event kicked off with lightning talks from Kroma, Mint Blockchain, and Orderly, where each speaker shared detailed updates about their projects, highlighting key milestones and how they are actively contributing to the Superchain ecosystem.
These talks provided a clear sense of how different projects are advancing scalability, security, and the overall user experience, ensuring Superchain continues evolving and meeting its growing community’s needs.
🎙️Panel 1: The Future of Interoperability and Scalability in Superchain
Moderated by Derek, our COO, the first panel focused on two critical challenges in the blockchain space: interoperability and scalability within the Superchain.
Patrick, Head of BD at Gelato, and Ran, Co-Founder of Orderly both shared their vision for a future where blockchain networks interact effortlessly, stressing the importance of interconnected ecosystems to support massive user growth and diverse use cases. Their insights highlighted how their projects are leveraging the Superchain architecture to enhance performance and improve the user experience.
🎙️Panel 2: Driving Adoption — How to Onboard the Next Billion Users to Superchain
The second panel focused on the critical challenge of onboarding the next billion users to the Superchain ecosystem.
The discussion featured Jay, Business Strategist at Kroma, Rose, Head of Ecosystem at Mint Blockchain, NK, Head of BD at Soneium, and Victor, Co-Founder of Manta Network. They explored strategies to simplify blockchain access and improve user experience.
The panelists identified key barriers to mass Web3 adoption, including onboarding complexity, user education gaps, and the need for more intuitive tools. They shared insights into how their projects are addressing these issues through user-friendly interfaces, lowering transaction fees, and educational initiatives aimed at making blockchain more approachable.
Kroma highlighted its plan to develop a reward-based app aimed at seamlessly transitioning Web2 users into Web3. Kroma aims to achieve this by providing engaging content and incentives that attract users and help them learn about blockchain in a natural, non-technical way. This approach would bridge the gap between traditional Web2 experiences and the complexities of Web3, allowing users to transition smoothly while gaining real-world benefits like redeeming rewards for food, drinks, or necessities.
Smile!
