2022.7—2022.10

Aims

Although the global digital market for cryptocurrency has recently experienced large fluctuations and is undergoing a new round of adjustment, Web3 is known to thousands of households. The international capital markets, developers, and users are showing unprecedented enthusiasm for the progress of the fundamental technologies and applications of the next-generation Internet represented by Web3.

We believe that, by the very nature of Web3, each user can control and even own the Internet content they create and lead the development of a new generation of Internet of Value. 2022 is a critical year, which is like 2008 before the popularity of the social network. Under the favorable influence of economy, society and technology, Web3 is bound to be favored by investors at present and in the future.

Through the Tokyo Web3 Summer Hackathon, we hope to identify early-stage quality projects worldwide, and help and support them with funding, resources, and talent to build the future of Web3.

Looking forward to the Japanese market and empowering the Japanese encryption market.
