Dozens of innovative blockchain startups will have booths on the floor, interspersed with seven unique experience zones that will each expose attendees to Web 3.0 from a completely new angle. Among these is The Web3 Entertainment Zone, which YGG Japan and SHAKE Entertainment are organizing to demonstrate how the gaming industry is using Web 3.0. The Crypto Village, presented by MURA and managed by Shinsekai Technologies, promises to be another highlight. It will include a variety of side activities centered on different topics, all happening at different times of the day and offering a lively setting for interactions.
A number of initiatives that bring together creative ideas and projects in an attempt to connect creators and developers who aspire to influence the future of Web 3.0 will take over Inamori Hall on the third floor of Kyoto Pulse Plaza. Among the initiatives is the much anticipated AI & Web 3.0 Animation Contest, in which a group of young creators will compete to make short blockchain-managed cartoons utilizing AI, the Unreal Engine, and tools from Animechain.ai.
Another highlight is the WaveHack Global Demo Day, where the top hackathon teams will get $500,000 in prizes and the chance to showcase their Web 3.0 products at EDCON and WebX in the future.
Lastly, the 2nd and 5th Floors are reserved areas where innovators and entrepreneurs may meet and discuss their ideas with some of the most well-known venture capital investors in the cryptocurrency space.
