What an amazing week at Crypto Valley! 🇨🇭 At CV summit, we were glad to connect with thousands of the world's brightest minds to advance Web3. This ties into the "𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻" theme, which aligns with everything we do at Catalyze. It also aligns with the ethos of CV Labs, and the spirit of Pudgy Penguins, which were on full display! 🐧 Our CEO, Ray Laracuenta was live at the conference to deliver his keynote on 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝟯 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀. He was joined by our COO, Johann Nathanaël Hartmann, our CMO Janina Vinklere (wearing exclusive Pudgy Merch 🐧), and our Head Of Partnerships, Kinga Pilat. We're happy to have been a Gold Partner this year - see our logo on the wall, on the left side third from the top. Cheers to many more fruitful Web3 events this year to come! 🥂

Our CEO, Ray Laracuenta, delivered a keynote titled: 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝟯 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 👥 He emphasized how trust is the foundation of any thriving community, especially in Web3, where interactions are often anonymous and decentralized. This trust is vital for the shift from building an audience to a true community, which will not be weakened by the absence of incentives. At Catalyze, we believe that Web3 apps and tools should have a reputational system as one of the ways to build trust-based networks. We intend to make it easy to incentivize and verify trustworthiness at a global scale and lead a new era of community building. We were a Gold Partner of this year's summit, which had the theme "𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻." We look forward to the continuous evolution of the ecosystem in Crypto Valley and globally. More than 1,000 leaders, innovators, investors, and policymakers from around the world had an amazing time at the CV Summit! 🌏

👾 From AI and Smart Contracts to building communities in Web3, #CVSummit 2024 has it all! Check out the highlights from the two keynotes by DFINITY's Jan Camenisch and Catalyze's Ray Laracuenta! Jan Camenisch's keynote explored the incredible advantages of running AI as a smart contract on the Internet Computer (ICP), offering users complete control over their data while ensuring privacy. Unlike traditional AI, which can’t be verified like regular code, AI on the blockchain provides a unique level of transparency and security Ray Laracuenta emphasized how trust is the foundation of any successful community, especially in Web3, where interactions are often anonymous and decentralized. The shift from building an audience to a true community is vital, as a dedicated community won't lead to desertion after the incentives have been provided. A big shout out to these two pioneering leaders in the space, pushing the boundaries of the Web3 industry!
