The largest venture capitalists and startups gathering, IVS Kyoto 2024, convened from July 4th to 6th in Kyoto, Japan. Under the theme “Cross the Boundaries,” the conference aimed to expand the startup community and foster talent mobility.

IOST co-hosted two official side events in collaboration with our partners during this event. On July 4th, “FORTUNE NIGHT” was hosted by OKCoin Japan and Digital Entertainment Asset (DEA), while on July 5th, “Web3 SUSHI & GEISHA Night” took place courtesy of HashPort.
Fortune Night
As an IVS Kyoto 2024 side event, OKCoin Japan and Digital Entertainment Asset (DEA) co-hosted with IOST and Zilliqa.
This event, held during Japan Fintech Week, featured presentations from DEA, which integrates gaming elements to address social issues, and Zilliqa, a project established in 2015. Dr. Wada from the IOST community unveiled the new “Story Chain” app on the IOST platform.
A highlight of the evening was a lively prize draw offering DEAP coins from DEA, IOST coins, and a OneKey hardware wallet adorned with the OKCoin Japan logo.
Web3 Sushi & Geisha Night
At the picturesque Heian Shrine Hall in Kyoto, HashPort hosted the traditional IVS Conference side event, “Web3 SUSHI & GEISHA Night,” co-hosted by IOST, HashKey DX, Kyuzan, and BOESIN.
Against the backdrop of a historic Japanese garden from the Meiji era, the event attracted Japanese stakeholders, industry professionals, and international Web3 enthusiasts. Mr. Li from HashKey DX, also an IOST node partner, delivered the opening remarks.
Guests savored a deluxe sushi experience prepared by skilled chefs and enjoyed the captivating “Geisha Dance,” a cherished Kyoto tradition dating back two centuries. Both international attendees and Japanese guests were captivated by the elegance and cultural richness of the Geisha performance.
Looking ahead, IOST remains committed to hosting community-focused events in Japan throughout the latter half of 2024. Additionally, following last year’s success, IOST will participate in WebX Asia 2024, continuing to drive innovation and engagement in the blockchain ecosystem.
