On 16 Nov, Ink returned to Singapore. This time, instead of the traditional big-hall meetings, we made a secluded close-knit gathering at the well-known BLK67, Ayer Rajah Crescent. This historical building estate is located right between NUS, the №1 University in Asia, and INSEAD, the №1 MBA School in the World. BLK67, along with the neighbouring buildings, have long been serving as the center of more than a hundred Fintech startups in Singapore, such as Attores, Global DCX and many others.

Despite heavy rain, the room was quickly filled with guests, who were greeted with balloons and soothing Jazz music as they engage themselves in candle light buffet and socialization in the homely atmosphere. It was more like a weekend party and gathering that brought together the local activists in the space of blockchain to celebrate the great success of the Ink ICO.

Professor Zhu Feida and Professor Prateek Saxena

The meeting was hosted by Professor Zhu Feida from Singapore Management University. Prof. Zhu is a professional in blockchain, AI and cloud computing. The first presenter to kick off the meeting was Diego Gutiérrez Zaldívar, CEO of RSK and President of the Argentinean Bitcoin Foundation. Diego is often considered as one of the founding fathers of the blockchain sector in Latin America. His presentation was followed by Scry.info, one of the most anticipated projects from Fenbushi Capital.

The event came to a highlight as Hash Hao represented Ink to give his presentation. The audience was totally magnetized with the solution provided by Ink and the infinite possibilities with its Sovereign Consortium Blockchain, IP Asset Exchange and Cross-chain Protocol. As Singapore is also well-known as a country with strong emphasis on IP and patent, the Ink solution holds special relevance with the audience here. It is highly plausible that Singapore would play a pivotal role in the Ink ecosystem as its platform continues to develop and mature.

Following the presentation of Ink, the guests had a 10-min break with more Jazz music and warm interactions. The event continued with presentations from Prateek Saxena from Zilliqa, another hot ICO of the year. Prateek is also a renowned Professor at the National University of Singapore.

The events came to a successful close with Morpheus as the last presenter. However, many people took the opportunity to linger on and had a few more drinks. A group of well-known investors of the cryptocurrency circle stayed until 11pm before this memorable event finally drew down its curtain.
