A Festival-Sized Side-Event
On 30 September 2025 the glass-roofed corridors of Singapore’s National Gallery fell silent after a nine-hour sonic boom of ideas. InnoBlock 2025—flagged “From Tokens to Mainstream”—clocked 5,300 registered attendees, making it the largest multi-track side-event of Token2049 week. The math is simple: one venue, two stages, twenty-two sessions, zero dull moments.
What We Talked About When We Talked Web3
The curators chased the frontier, not the hype. Stablecoins, AI co-agents, real-world assets, on-chain gaming, DePIN and the fusion of CeFi-DeFi were stitched into a single narrative: how to move from sandbox to street. Eight keynotes, thirteen panels and one fireside turned the gallery into a live white-paper.
Main-Stage Lightning—Eight Talks That Mattered
ME’s Jessica unveiled 24/7 AI brand agents that tweet, moderate and upsell while you sleep.
HolmesAI’s Killian demoed a user-owned AI persona that learns privately, earns on-chain and forgets only when you command.
Kaia’s Sam Seo pitched Asia’s “stablecoin orchestration layer”—a regulatory router wired to local banks and CBDC rails.
TruStable’s Ro reframed stables as anti-inflation money, stacking RWA yield without sacrificing redemption rights.
Sign’s Xin Yan sketched a post-SWIFT, post-Visa lattice built on encrypted sovereign channels.
StableStock’s Zixi Zhu tokenised the NYSE so Jakarta traders can own fractional Tesla at 8 pm local time.
Bakkt’s Nicholas Baes traced the next-decade compliance stack: custody, trust, tokenised identity—one licence at a time.
ICC’s Yoka Zhou restated the accelerator’s mandate: ship startups, bridge continents, keep the East open for global cap tables.
Round-Table Radar—Where the Edges Met
Main-stage circles dissected Web3 gaming’s post-hangover sobriety, stablecoins scaling from remittance to payroll, RWA liquidity levers, AI as the new operating system, and the rise of Digital Asset Treasuries (DAT) inside listed firms.
Fireside-stage huddles went granular: DeFi 2.5 risk curves, CeDeFi trust bridges, investor-incubator hybrids, payment-to-treasury pipelines, Web3 game UX frictions, equity-token convergence, RWA liquidity unlocks and DePIN hardware economics. The takeaway? Infrastructure is sexy again—if it ships with a token model that doesn’t bankrupt node runners.
The Fireside Glow—BNB Treasury Unpacked
Jack Kong (Nano Labs) and Sarah Song (BNB Chain) sat ankle-to-ankle debating corporate treasuries that blend equity raises with BNB reserves. The verdict: multi-asset war-chests hedge dilution and amplify ecosystem flywheels—provided the CFO can stomach mark-to-market volatility.
More Than Talk—A Network in Motion
Hall-way “Connection Lounges” rotated 600 five-minute intros per hour; community booths ran live quests; artists minted 1/1 NFTs on-site; and a silent disco DAO pitched grants while DJs wore laser glasses. Dialogue was the protocol, serendipity the consensus mechanism.
Thank-You Ledger—The Names Behind the Noise
Title sponsors: HolmesAI, TruStable, Bitrise Capital, Nano Labs.
Gold tier: Sei, Planet Hares, SavannaSurvival, Loop Finance, Google Cloud, CloudMile.
Silver and ecosystem allies:半山KOL Club, Sieger, The9bit, Solulu, BTSE Enterprise, MetaArena, Nika Labs, XPIN Network, SeekD—plus 47 media nodes broadcasting in seven languages. Your bandwidth made the signal louder.
Epilogue—The Question We Took Home
InnoBlock 2025 ended with no closing bell—only an open tab. Web3 is no longer a vertical; it’s the horizontal layer beneath money, games, credit, identity, even culture. The next cycle will be written by teams who can ship products invisible enough that grandmothers and CFOs use them without reading the white-paper. See you at InnoBlock 2026 for the first user testimonial.
