According to BlockBeats, on September 17, Base founder Jesse Pollak delivered the opening speech at FarCon Asia, the first major Farcaster ecosystem offline event in Asia. Pollak highlighted that Base Protocol has been operational for a year and now possesses its own culture, mission, vision, and strategy. The primary focus is on promoting Base globally. The plan involves traveling to various parts of the world to engage with builders, understand how to support them, and help them achieve greater success. Base Network aims to showcase use cases for crypto consumers beyond just financial transactions, enabling developers to create social products in new ways accessible to everyone. Pollak believes these applications will drive the next wave of users, growing from millions today to billions in the coming years.
Pollak also emphasized the excitement around non-USD stablecoins. Base sees the need for stablecoins in currencies like the Singapore dollar, euro, and Nigerian naira. If Base can bring all global currencies on-chain, it would revolutionize the perception of money, making transactions ten times faster and cheaper, providing better financial services to global users. Base aims to foster a vibrant ecosystem with applications that offer compelling reasons for participation, and to establish deep capital markets for efficient, high-liquidity trading.
FarCon Asia, the first major Farcaster ecosystem offline event in Asia, was co-hosted by Tako Protocol, BlockBeats, and Jam. The conference aims to explore and showcase the innovative achievements of the Farcaster ecosystem and the future prospects of Web3 social networking, breaking the stereotype of one-way output in traditional financial crypto conferences. The event is expected to attract over 500 attendees, including Farcaster ecosystem builders, active users in Asia, venture capitalists, renowned investors, and senior researchers.
