This move not only effectively solves the problem of inter-chain liquidity dispersion, but also improves transaction efficiency, provides a deeper liquidity pool, and significantly narrows transaction spreads.

In the first fireside discussion, DA Captial COO Tim Shen, CopeX Co-founder Paul and Elite Trading Academy Alvin jointly discussed "How can the community become a strong support for user transactions?" 》This topic, in this regard, DA Captial COO Tim Shen believes that a good trading community, in the DA Traders Alliance, is to provide different methods and tools by understanding the user’s trading level and age of joining the circle. Let community users learn. For newbies, analysts’ real-time views on the market are more needed. We use systematic tutorials to enable people who are new to the currency circle to avoid scams and use currency circle tools correctly, supplemented by daily live broadcasts to establish Trust in the community to become familiar with the cryptocurrency market. For community users who already have basic knowledge, we provide market hotspot information and project research that have been screened and observed by our investment researchers to eliminate the information gap on cryptocurrency.

CopeX Co-founder Paul said that first of all, professionalism is basic in building a community. KOLs themselves must have a certain understanding of transactions to be qualified to lead users. Secondly, education and interaction are also very important. Most of the time, transactions are garbage time, and the process is very tedious and boring. How to make users find it interesting during this process and continue to provide content to users is a topic for every community. Finally, tools are also very important. For example, CopeX can make users trade more smoothly, obtain market information quickly, make it easier for KOLs and teams to run the community, increase additional income, and attract users to join the community. important inducement.

Alvin from Elite Trading Academy believes that the core of a valuable trading community lies in providing reliable information, professional guidance and valuable discussions.

In the case of our Elite Trading Academy, leaders must have practical experience, be able to provide accurate market analysis, and help users understand the nature of the market. Moreover, the community is based on learning to understand the needs of users, and to target novices or experienced users. Experienced investors provide systematic content. What's more important is the learning environment, which is also a key factor in influencing the community. The market is changing rapidly, so it should be able to provide users with timely answers and provide them with concepts to allow users to view the market correctly. Next, I think the core of running a community is positioning and structural design. Only when the positioning is clear can we attract the corresponding ethnic groups.

The value of the community is not just to provide information, but to help each user find opportunities for growth through good business strategies, structured learning, the establishment of a complete knowledge system, long-term practical exercises, and the combination of data and analysis tools. direction, and make the community itself their long-term partner.

Memecore's Anndy Lian believes that in the past few years, many developers have tried to introduce Web2 users to Web3 through games. And I believe MEME culture has untapped potential to accelerate this transformation. With MemeCore, our goal is to harness the power of MEME to drive mass adoption, inspire creativity, and expand what's possible in the Web3 world. We aim not only to enable product development, but also to reimagine how people interact with blockchain networks.

Sa Bige, founder of CashCashBot, said that MiniApp has actually been verified by the Web2 market on WeChat and Douyin, so it will soon be copied to TG, LINE, Tiktok and other platforms; mini-games that have been seen on WeChat and Douyin in the past , will also be migrated to a new platform to capture new traffic and monetization. These are already professional studios developing Tap to Earn mini-games, which are just the most rudimentary and violent first step. Interactive games, social mini-programs, and AI application mini-programs will all appear in the future, and will include Web3 value empowerment.

"We're not inventing something new; we're just simplifying something that already works"

He cited examples such as World of Warcraft, where players have been trading assets and accounts for years. He believes that blockchain provides a more efficient and secure way to manage these transactions.
