On September 18, local time, the TOKEN2049 Afterparty, co-hosted by HTX DAO and TRON, and supported by Alethea AI, Tour Billion, BitWave, ChainGPT, Google Cloud, and The Block, was held in Singapore. Sun Yuchen, founder of TRON and global advisor of Huobi HTX, delivered speeches alongside several industry leaders, discussing the future development trends in the Web3 field.
As one of the most influential Web3 summits in the world, TOKEN2049 brought together industry elites from around the globe. Seizing this opportunity, HTX DAO and TRON gathered over 1,100 seasoned Web3 builders at the grand TOKEN2049 Afterparty. The event attracted numerous well-known projects, investment institutions, and crypto KOLs, with media partners including Odaily Planet Daily, BlockBeats, Foresight News, TechFlow, MarsBit, Cointime, DeThings, PANews, ChainCatcher, MetaEra, BroadChain, Bitcoin.com, BeInCrypto, Blockopedia, and Monsterblockhk.
At the TOKEN2049 Afterparty, Sun Yuchen delivered a speech via video link titled “The New Decade: Leading the Global TRON x Huobi HTX Web3 Ecosystem,” which acknowledged the achievements of Huobi HTX and TRON while proposing a future plan based on the “dual-engine drive” of the two platforms.
Sun Yuchen stated that blockchain technology has transitioned from concept to reality over the past decade and is changing the world, with both Huobi HTX and TRON playing significant roles in this process. He remarked, “The birth of TRON stemmed from a profound exploration of the limitless possibilities of blockchain technology. We have always adhered to the core values of openness, transparency, and decentralization. Huobi HTX, as an important partner of TRON, has jointly promoted the development of the blockchain industry. This year marks the 11th anniversary of Huobi HTX, and sustaining industry development over such a long period is a commendable achievement. Huobi HTX is committed to long-termism, actively responding to various market and regulatory changes, and with a user-centric philosophy and a persistent pursuit of security and user experience, it remains at the forefront of the industry.”
Regarding the next decade of Web3, Sun Yuchen believes that technology and products need to focus more on applications in real scenarios, “This includes higher-frequency interactions, more diversified scenarios, smarter AI assistance, and more secure network systems, linking to a larger world.” Additionally, “In the coming decade, we will witness the dual-engine drive effect of TRON and Huobi HTX.”
Sun Yuchen mentioned that SunPump, the TRON ecosystem Meme issuance platform launched in August, is a case of this dual-engine drive. Born from the fertile on-chain soil of TRON and leveraging Huobi HTX’s market resources for further growth, SunPump became a phenomenal Web3 application within just a month of launch, driving explosive on-chain transaction volume while utilizing its traffic effect to benefit TRON and Huobi HTX.
“Our ultimate goal is to create a comprehensive Web3 ecosystem covering payment, investment, and social aspects,” Sun Yuchen said. “We will focus on energizing the TRON ecosystem, attracting more quality DApps and projects, and strengthening the interaction between the TRON ecosystem and Huobi HTX. We will also fully leverage Huobi HTX’s global influence and resource advantages to integrate TRON’s technological innovations with Huobi HTX’s market resources, promoting products and services to the global market more quickly and effectively.”
In addition to Sun Yuchen, several guests from well-known projects and media, including Arif Khan, founder and CEO of AI infrastructure provider Alethea AI; Victor Yap, APAC market head of the gaming platform Tour Billion; Leo, co-founder of the Bitcoin Layer 2 solution BitWave; Sharon Sciammas, CMO of AI tool provider ChainGPT; and Larry Cermak, CEO of crypto media The Block, also delivered speeches, sharing their observations and future outlooks on the industry, covering popular topics such as AI, DePIN, BTCFI, and GameFi.
