What are your thoughts on the development in 2025?

Q1: What are you most looking forward to in the Web3 industry by 2025?

2025 will be a crucial year for the application of Web3 technology. This association has selected six key innovations that have the potential to be integrated into the Web2 industry and enter the market by the end of 2024. We hope the industry can take the lead in laying out strategies and look forward to co-creating a new economy in the future.

Q2: From your professional perspective, what do you think is the most important trend in the blockchain industry in 2025? What insights and observations do you have?

Web2 and Web3 have been in competition for many years, like a pendulum swinging back to Web2. Therefore, I believe the current focus is on what real-world problems Web3 technology can solve. Only when enough resources (users, funding, technological maturity) are accumulated will there be another breakthrough back to Web3.

We have organized six directions covering finance, identity privacy, and hardware and software infrastructure for everyone to brainstorm. Where are our opportunities?

  1. DID (Decentralized Identifiers)

  2. DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network)

  3. TBSI (Trusted Blockchain Service Infrastructure)

  4. dESG (Decentralized ESG)

  5. deAI (Decentralized Artificial Intelligence)

  6. RWA (Real World Asset)

Q3: Are there any interesting plans or products you can share for 2025?

Blockchain is a cross-disciplinary technology suitable for becoming a trust platform for multiple stakeholders. We have quietly played the role of a technology advocate for Taiwan's industry for many years and hope everyone can come with questions. Through multi-party interactive debates and discussions, we can clarify the answers. Therefore, we look forward to advancing in this direction next year.
