Winners of the Top 30 Figures in Blockchain
Lin Zhichen: Chairman and Partner of AppWorks, General Manager of Taiwan Mobile
Contributions to the industry in the past year:
Continuing to recruit and invest in Web3 entrepreneurs, creating collaboration among teams through the AppWorks ecosystem, while connecting startup teams with enterprises to launch more practical application services.
Under its subsidiary, Fusheng Digital Co., Ltd., it has become the 26th virtual currency (VASP) platform operator in Taiwan to complete compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, injecting more energy into the industry with resources from large enterprises.
How do you see the development in 2025?
Q1: What are you most looking forward to seeing in the Web3 industry in 2025?
As the Web3 industry emerges from the bear market of 2022-2023, many entrepreneurs who persisted through the process have accumulated a wealth of practical development experience, and with everyone's continued efforts, infrastructure remains robust.
Compared to the last cycle, the current infrastructure supports a more diverse range of applications with significantly improved user experience. Looking forward to 2025, I think we should see more entrepreneurs making good use of this more complete blockchain underlying ecosystem to develop amazing applications in finance, physical assets, data, gaming, identity verification, and more.
Q2: From your professional perspective, what do you think is the most important trend in the blockchain industry in 2025? What are your insights and observations?
During the recent bear market cycle, many companies interested in blockchain technology continue to invest and progress steadily, making notable advancements in ETFs, finance, custody services, and blockchain-based clearing.
By 2025, I believe we will see more companies getting involved and win-win collaborations with startup teams.
Q3: Are there any interesting plans or products for 2025 that you can share?
AppWorks will continue to promote the growth of global Web3 entrepreneurs through the AppWorks Accelerator service, connecting entrepreneurs and allowing startup teams to collaboratively create more innovative services.
At the same time, the AppWorks Fund will continue to invest in promising Web3 entrepreneurs, accelerating their service development process and making good use of various resources to help entrepreneurs enter the Asian market more smoothly and expand their influence.
