Sota Watanabe - How We Unlock the Potential of Web3 - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2024
Join Sota Watanabe, an influential figure in the blockchain space, at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2024 as he presents a compelling vision on "How We Unlock the Potential of Web3". This insightful talk explores how Web3 technology is poised to empower ordinary people, transcending its current niche usage among tech enthusiasts and affluent investors. Watanabe argues that just as most people benefit from the internet without understanding its underlying technologies, blockchain should seamlessly integrate into daily life.
Watanabe emphasizes that the primary hurdle to Web3's mainstream adoption is not technological, but distribution. By leveraging existing corporate infrastructures, such as partnerships with giants like Sony Group, Stel, the organization behind this movement, aims to onboard the remaining 97% of potential Web3 users over the coming years.
Key highlights include the need for a shift from tech-centered to user-centered approaches, recognizing the importance of simplifying user experiences, and the goal of creating vertically integrated products that cater to both developers and end-users. Watanabe also introduces Sonum and Asa, blockchain projects designed to transcend current boundaries and enhance the Web3 ecosystem through collaboration, not competition.
This talk serves as a call to action for collaboration within the industry, stressing the importance of moving beyond Web3 silos to achieve widespread adoption and real-world impact.
For those interested in the future of blockchain and how you can be part of this transformative journey, this talk is a must-watch. If you found this session informative, please like, comment, and subscribe for more groundbreaking content from TOKEN2049.
