Old Friends Reunion 15th @Seoul
WHY SUPERAPP ERA?
📝 GM/GN:
Hello and welcome!
Today, we stand at the crossroads of two of the most transformative trends of our time: the rise of the "SuperApp" and the unstoppable momentum of crypto innovation. And there's no better place to explore this convergence than right here in Seoul, the heart of a hyper-connected, mobile-first society where platforms like KakaoTalk have already redefined people’s daily life.
The SuperApp is more than just an app; it's a digital ecosystem. For years, Asia has led this revolution, showing the world what's possible when technology is deeply woven into the fabric of society.
What happens when you infuse this model with the power of crypto?
This is the central question we are here to answer. We're moving beyond fragmented crypto wallets and complex user experience. We are entering the SuperApp Era for Web3, where blockchain technology is no longer a niche tool but the underlying engine of a new kind of digital life. Imagine a world which allows you to instantly pay for your coffee with stablecoins or crypto cards, earn loyalty rewards as NFTs, and even access DeFi services.
Join us as we explore how to build the next generation of crypto application for real world users. We'll delve into the trends, strategies, technologies, and user experiences that will unlock crypto for billions and create a truly integrated, crypto-powered future!
