BBW Main Stage Keynote Highlights: Shaping the Future of Web3

On the Binance Blockchain Week main stage, Gala Wen and Marwan Kawadri from BNB Chain shared their vision for building an on-chain economy and the future of the ecosystem. Marwan echoed a powerful quote from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum: "The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it." This sentiment perfectly aligned with BNB Chain’s commitment to empowering builders in pursuit of a decentralized future.

Additionally, the BNB Chain team shared key infrastructure updates, including support for BTCFi, DePin, AI, and other high-growth areas, reinforcing their mission to onboard 1 billion users to Web3. From real-world payment solutions with PayFi to supporting meme culture with resources like leaderboards and liquidity for meme projects, BNB Chain is dedicated to driving adoption and success across all corners of the blockchain space. During a mainstage panel on DeFi, the BNB Chain team highlighted its pivotal role in leveraging stablecoins to bridge blockchain technology with real-world payments.
