Web3 is essentially a decentralised data and value internet built with blockchain technology at its core, with the goal of truly achieving user data ownership. In this growing decentralised system, blockchain is one of the key technologies that Web3 relies on for maturity and development due to its secure and tamper-proof ledger feature. Meanwhile, decentralised storage, decentralised payment tools, data infrastructure, and privacy computing technologies are widely regarded by the industry as important infrastructure to solve the pain points of the Web2 world and help build the Web3 value internet.
The “Web3 Infrastructure” session of the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2023 will invite industry leaders and technology experts as our speakers. The session will cover key issues such as Web3, NFT, GameFi infrastructure, as the speakers discuss the latest developments of Web3 infrastructure and its future direction.
