Global Events

On September 9, Nick ZHANG, initiator of Wing, showed up at an online AMA co-organized by RealSatoshi, Winkrypto and Wing, during which he briefed blockchain enthusiasts and Wing users on their vision, mechanisms and core values. Nick believed that in the DeFi course, Wing has its defining value in its credit lending function, enabled by integrating OScore, which is an on-chain credit evaluation system. He also noted that Wing’s infrastructure demands are met by the credit-based identity and data framework exclusively provided by Ontology. He added, “The power of blockchain lies in consensus. It could be found in something as trivial as the record of a single transaction, or as big as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). It’s what enables us to envision a future where blockchain technology facilitates the process of globalization, and is on the way to breaking the barriers between races, national borders, assets and social classes. The debated catchphrases in the blockchain arena, such as decentralization, immutability and equitability, all check the boxes of derivative values born out of consensus built on blockchain.”
