Selected speaker Chris Wang

Founder of ThunderCore Chris Wangwho previously sold his social gaming company Playfulness to Disney for 563 million dollars, will be one of the keynote speakers at NFT Taipei. When Chris first created Playdom, it was because Facebook had recently opened up its API to third-party developers. Chris knew at that point that he would be better off building in an ecosystem that knew how to retain users.

Founder ThunderCore

Since founding ThunderCore, Chris has taken the same approach. He has made his blockchain one of the most trafficked in the world. Its focus on ecosystem preservation – which is done with a combination of recommendation algorithms, powerful AI tools and other techniques – has seen ThunderCore routinely reach near the top of the charts on DappRadar for daily active users.

Mass adoption of blockchain

Chris believes that blockchain technology will reach mass adoption when developers master both ecosystem preservation and user acquisition. ThunderCore has the first part down and is now focused on onboarding the next billion blockchain users with a Web2.5 approach.

The vast majority of people online still linger on the old internet. The idea of ​​Web2.5 is to make it easy for Web2 companies to reach these people by introducing Web3 features like NFTs into their traditional apps. NFTs are a particular focus, as they can be used for ticketing, airdrops, loyalty rewards programs and much more.

ThunderCore has developed a toolkit to help Web2 developers for this purpose. The company helps its partners break into Web3 with its cutting edge ThunderGene API toolwhich enables easy deployment of blockchain functionality in any software.

Chris will speak on the aforementioned topics and educate his audience on how they can collectively accelerate the mass adoption of blockchain.
