, ‘Jung Seon-ik, CEO of FactBlock, and Kim Seo-jun, CEO of Hashed, unveiled their agenda at the KBW 2024: IMPACT main conference held in Grand Walkerhill Seoul in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 3rd. Jung introduced the platform ‘Pablo’ that lowers the barriers in the Web3 world, while Kim emphasized that the blockchain ecosystem will solve what governments and companies cannot do. ‘,
, ‘This year’s KBW is being held on the largest scale ever. With over 300 speakers participating in four main stages, more than three times the number of booths have been set up compared to previous years. During the event, over 300 side events will also be held in various locations in Seoul. ‘,
, ‘Jung mentioned, “We aim to create a healthier community by communicating online 365 days a year beyond the offline event held once a year and unveiled the blockchain community platform ‘Pablo.’ Existing investors will be provided with Web3-related information, while new users will be able to transition to and enjoy other Web3 platforms smoothly as they learn the basics. FactBlock plans to officially launch Pablo by the end of this year. ‘,
, ‘The Chief Strategy Officer of FactBlock stated, “There are 6.4 million virtual asset investors in Korea, with the majority being in their 2030s and only about 80,000 actively using on-chain services.” He emphasized that Pablo is a platform for millions of users lacking information, rather than the 80,000 users proficient in Web3. Several notable projects such as SUE, Movement, CreditCoin, Chiliz, Flare, and Polkadot have confirmed their participation in Pablo. Future plans include expanding partnerships for increased synergy. ‘,
, ‘Kim mentioned, “In the near future, when we migrate to the moon or Mars, who should own the land there? Real-world governments and companies are facing challenges that they cannot solve. The coexistence and collaboration of the real and digital worlds are possible thanks to blockchain.” He added, “While property rights for real estate are managed by the government, if they are tokenized through security tokens, they can be traded more freely in the digital world.” He also explained how trust issues in the K-pop industry are being resolved through blockchain governance, citing the example of a girl group called ‘Triple S.’ He further stated, “The issue of distributing carbon emission rights between countries can also be resolved through efficient governance using blockchain.” ‘,
, ‘Kim emphasized that blockchain can function properly when it develops on a transparent protocol basis. He stated, “In the blockchain ecosystem, protocols that provide solid trust like algorithms should be developed and not changed easily.” He likened it to blending colors where mixing paint turns the center black, but mixing light makes it brighter. He added, “As projects based on transparent protocols increase, the light of the blockchain ecosystem shines brighter.” ‘,
