[KBW 2023 Side Event] Recap: HAVAH and Friends VIP Dinner
Greetings! This is HAVAH, the Next-generation Interchain Platform.
Team HAVAH attended Korea Blockchain Week 2023 (hereinafter, KBW 2023), as we stated in our community notice. We would like to give you an overview of the ‘HAVAH and Friends VIP Dinner’ event we held on September 6th.
Making Plans for the Event
Our main consideration as we prepared for HAVAH’s side event was the idea of “connectivity.” In keeping with HAVAH’s overarching goal of connecting all blockchains and enhancing the usefulness of digital assets, we thought that this event should act as a venue for various international WEB3 teams to connect, work together, and create synergies.
We invited a wide range of teams, including those working on the GameFi and NFT projects, WEB3 Infrastructures, and ecosystem Investors. We carefully planned our strategy and personally contacted every participant in an effort to foster a networking and industry advancement-friendly environment.
The majority of the 100 attendees, who came to represent about 50 teams, participated enthusiastically, bringing energy and excitement to the event. We were thrilled to welcome them.
HAVAH and Friends VIP Dinner
Glory Lim, CEO of HAVAH, gave a welcome speech to begin the event at 6:30.
“During the previous KBW, Team HAVAH was the one reaching out to other teams for a successful launch as our service was in the planning stages. This year, because we can accommodate many teams, it feels very different.
The goal of Team HAVAH is to connect different blockchains and help project teams function independently of a single network. We think there are lots of areas where collaboration and mutual synergy could occur in the WEB3 sector. I hope the event we have planned today provides a venue for these beneficial partnerships.
Then Scott, CBO of HAVAH, took the podium to speak about “What We have Done, What Comes Next.”
HAVAH wants to build a world where all kinds of blockchains exist and are seamlessly connected in a dispersed and independent network landscape, whether they come from Layer 1 or Layer 2 game chains or app chains. We were able to communicate with over 310k users through HAVAH’s testnet events as if to demonstrate it, proving that WEB3 users are genuinely interested in the idea that NFTs can cross chain barriers.
In order to keep our users engaged, we also successfully launched the HAVAH mainnet in January and produced content like “HAVAH Friends.” As a result, HAVAH has grown its community to become one of the biggest South Korean blockchain service providers, with over 510,000 users.
Always at the center of HAVAH’s envisioned business model has been our community. With long-term plans to integrate a variety of services such as GameFi, NFT, DeFi, and social media onto the HAVAH network, HAVAH strives for sustained growth alongside its community. We think that our community has contributed to the success of our projects so far.
He went on to discuss their NFT bridging service and presented several actual use cases for the HAVAH Mitter. These use cases covered a variety of projects, including the notable Bellygom migration, a well-known PFP NFT project on the Klaytn network. At the project level, Team HAVAH was successful in highlighting 5 NFT interchain use cases. In response to this presentation, a number of teams expressed an interest in working together on NFT Multi-chain opportunities.
HAVAH is proud to have the largest WEB3 community in Korea and state-of-the-art interchain technology. Utilizing these resources, HAVAH is steadfastly growing its business ventures. 46 partnerships, including validators and investors, have already been announced for 2023 alone. We kindly ask for the community’s ongoing, ardent support on our upcoming journey.
HAVAH Allies
As the speech came to a close, we projected a presentation page with a list of the teams that attended the HAVAH and Friends VIP Dinner. In the end, we had 55 teams and 90 valuable individuals join us for the dinner event. We were able to support global networking for Korean teams, particularly during the KBW(Korea Blockchain Week) period, as we had attendees from a number of nations, including the United States, Japan, and Vietnam, who were visiting Korea.
By 2024, HAVAH hopes to connect more than 20 chains. Non-EVM networks like APTOS and SOLANA will be connected as well. We found it extremely admirable that project teams and foundations outside of the EVM participated in the event and supported our mission. Team HAVAH will put forth a lot of effort to make sure that each team that joins us is able to take part in our ecosystem.
We facilitated networking opportunities for teams attending the VIP Dinner during the after-dinner period to encourage them to openly discuss collaborations with teams within the HAVAH ecosystem. It was a pleasure to carry out the task that HAVAH excels at.
Concluding..
Team HAVAH has participated in a number of WEB3 conferences over the years, as well as a number of related side events. We wanted to share this year’s event, our first business venture, with the teams who have helped us and traveled with us on our journey even though there have been many memorable events with various concepts. Additionally, we want to strongly unite these groups so that they can act as advocates for the HAVAH ecosystem.
We are committed to making HAVAH the go-to bridge partner for numerous networks and making sure that WEB3 users everywhere are aware of HAVAH.
Thank you.
