Singapore - 24 September 2024 at 9:00pm

The Open Art event, hosted by Blum, TONX and TON Society and co-organized by Coingecko, All At Once, TonBit and Google Cloud, attracted over 11,280 registered attendees, making it the most-registered event during Token2049 Week in Singapore. The event, held on September 19 at the National Gallery Singapore, one of the country’s most prestigious venues, brought together thousands of people to explore the latest innovations in the TON ecosystem.

The event highlighted the growing influence of the TON ecosystem, with over 60 partners from across the Web3 space showcasing its potential through live discussions, keynotes, and networking sessions. The TON ecosystem is considered a key force in driving Web3 mass adoption, and continues to innovate despite market volatility.

“We at TONX believe deeply in fostering a culture of innovation within the TON ecosystem. By attracting thousands of attendees from across the APAC region and around the world, we are not only pushing the limits of what is possible, but also highlighting the power of our SuperApp ecosystem and the new economy,” said Wego, co-founder of TONX.

Participants also enjoyed an immersive experience with live design and merchandise themed around Open Art. Every detail was carefully crafted to reflect the values ​​that the TON ecosystem represents - free expression, creativity, and innovation.

“We are proud to host the largest side event of Token2049 week, which marks another milestone for Blum,” said Vladimir Smerkis, Blum’s Chief Marketing Officer and co-founder. “Even though we are operating entirely online, in-person gatherings still have their own unique value. Unlike when Blum launched in April, TON and Telegram became a clear focus, dominating the discussion throughout the conference. It was a sign of the times.”
