DEx.top Meets World Tour: Amsterdam, Seoul, Wuzhen, and Shenzhen
Last week, the DEx.top team travelled to 4 different cities (Amsterdam, Seoul, Wuzhen, and Shenzhen) around the world attending blockchain conferences and meetups. Since the inception of DEx.top, one of our main goals is to establish a decentralized exchange (DEX) that is able to serve every cryptocurrency trader, regardless of geographical location. To this end, DEx.top’s team members are based out of several different countries including Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore and the United States, with additional volunteers in Russia, Latin America and Africa.
Tour Number 1: Amsterdam, Netherlands; Blockchain Expo
Hosted on the 27th and 28th of June 2018, Blockchain Expo is Europe’s largest enterprise blockchain event. This year, the event saw over 8000 attendees from multiple sectors of the blockchain industry come together to discuss the impact of blockchain on healthcare, supply chains, energy, logistics, manufacturing, retail, real estate and much more.
As one of the major sponsors of the Expo, DEx.top was invited to speak at the event about how we can drive the evolution and application of blockchain.
Tour Number 2: Seoul, Korea; Blockchain Open Forum
Next up was the Blockchain Open Forum held on the 28th and 29th of June and hosted by Korea’s leading blockchain media outlet Token Post. The forum’s discussions centered around the future of the blockchain industry, blockchain protocols, exchange platforms, the development of auditing and other financial services as well as investments.
A major theme for the forum was the future of cryptocurrency exchanges. It gave rise to a lot of discussion, especially regarding the differences between centralized and decentralized exchanges as well as the different trading models being rolled out by exchanges.
As a decentralized exchange utilizing a unique double-ledger Replayed on Chain (ROC) trading mechanism that confirms trading actions on an off-chain ledger then asynchronously sends them to the blockchain for settlement, DEx.top received generous compliments from many blockchain enthusiasts.
Our team also had the pleasure of meeting with KChain, Korea’s leading blockchain consultancy. We talked a lot about future collaborations so be on the lookout for news about this!
Tour Number 3: Wuzhen, China; World Blockchain Conference
Our team arrived the day after at the World Blockchain Conference in Wuzhen, held over two days from 29th to 30th June. With over 4000 attendees, 10 conference rooms, 48 booths, 500+ management representatives, 50+ institutions, 30+ VC/PE investors and many more blockchain and mainstream media outlets, the World Blockchain Conference is one of the biggest blockchain events in China. This year, major speakers at the event included Bitmain founder CEO Micree Zhan, author of famous science-fiction novel “The Three Body-Problem” Liu Cixin, and 8btc.com founder and CEO Chang Xia.
DEx.top was again a major sponsor of the conference and hosted a booth in the centre of the convention hall. We shared not just the purpose of our decentralized exchange and our insights into the exchange industry with conference participants, but also gifts including DEx.top fans and T-shirts for those who came by our booth!
Tour Number 4: Shenzhen, China; Blockchain Unchained
Immediately after, our COO Leo was invited to give a presentation on July 1st about DEx.top’s trademark secure, rapid and low-fee decentralized exchange implementation at Shenzhen’s Blockchain Unchained meetup hosted by MyToken. During the talk, Leo also discussed the current market environment for cryptocurrency exchanges as well as DEx.top’s strengths and mission.
The CEOs of Swissborg, Tontine Trust and MyToken also spoke at the event, bringing together an epic series of talks about blockchain technology applications in credit, finance and exchanges.
This world tour is one small step for our team members, one giant leap for the future of DEx.top. We’ll continue to go on more world tours and travelling to even more places, to meet more of all of you! In the meantime, we’re working hard to fulfil our goal to be a DEX that serves a global market of cryptocurrency traders across the world, while making a positive impact on the blockchain ecosystem.
