Over three hundred delegates and representatives from the global Web3 ecosystem gathered on February 22, 2023 for the Tencent Cloud Web3 Build Day.

“At Tencent Cloud, we see a future with Web3, a new iteration of the Internet ushering in the concept of ‘immersive convergence,’ where the physical and digital economies meet and integrate,” he said. “Now that more and more companies are interested in exploring and adapting to an efficient, transparent digital future, we are ready to leverage our long technical experience in gaming, audio and video to provide strong technical support for Web3 and Working with industry partners to create a more immersive experience and foster a better Web3 ecosystem.”
The event was attended by delegates representing both developer and investor perspectives. Panel speakers included Sandy Peng, co-founder of Scroll, Stanley Wu, CTO and co-founder of Ankr, and Wilson Wu, head of Asia growth at Avalanche.
Topics discussed at length included supporting and engaging more developers in Web3 development, the challenges and trend prospects for the Metaverse in 2023, and the elements of building Web3 social networks. Each speaker brought their unique learning experiences and brought their perspectives to a rich discussion conducted in both English and Mandarin.
One of the common threads running through the keynotes and discussions was the importance of collaboration. In his opening remarks, Yeung emphasized the need for partnerships between companies to create a better Web3 experience for everyone. This was underscored by speakers in the first panel, which addressed the importance of empowering the Web3 community through education and onboarding.
During the event, Tencent Cloud also unveiled Metaverse-in-a-Box, an all-in-one solution that integrates Tencent Cloud’s infrastructure, products, and ready-to-use SDKs with gaming, media, and entertainment applications. This allows developers to build metaverse applications faster and more flexibly.
