A year after Cyber Night, we were honored to host Marvel Night, the largest kick-off event of Shanghai International Blockchain Week, on October 26th in the legendary Peace Hotel, with Polygon and Open Group.

Over 600 guests had a fun and engaging time together, and discussed the hottest trends including NFT, web 3, and metaverse. We were inspired by the insights shared by investors from top-tier crypto funds including Fenbushi, HashKey, IOSG, and SNZ capital, and entrepreneurs from Dfinity, Mina, Avalanche, etc.

The blockchain industry has had 12 years of high-speed development in China and has transformed from being dominated by mining to a variety of application constructions. Thanks to the boom of DeFi, NFT, and cross-chain innovations. The event also attracted gaming developers and AI engineers from Tencent, ByteDance, and Alibaba as well as various artists.

We give special thanks to our sponsors Realy, Immutable, and RCT AI, for their incredible NFTs.

Following the Marvel Night, the Global Blockchain Summit took place on Oct 26th and 27th, with guests including Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum, Gavin Wood, founder of Polkadot, Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana. The summit was broadcast globally to engage worldwide blockchain enthusiasts.
