Web3 or Web 3.0 is the latest iteration of the World Wide Web incorporating concepts such as decentralised finance (DeFi), blockchain technologies and token-based economics.
On April 26, close to 400 investors, entrepreneurs and technologists from around the world gathered at a ballroom in central Bangkok after a week full of fintech and blockchain events to attend OnChain 2024, Asia’s first real-world asset (RWA) conference.
The inaugural one-day event, organised by Saison International, was more than doubly oversubscribed. Attendees hovered outside the main ballroom as keynote speeches took place, a sign of renewed optimism in the web3 industry, unfazed by the volatility that marks this space.
