The Open Art, hosted by Blum, TONX, and TON Society and
co-hosted by CoinGecko, All At Once, TonBit, and Google Cloud,
attracted over 11,280 registered attendees—the highest number of
registered attendees during Token2049 Week in Singapore. Held on
September 19 at the National Gallery Singapore, one of the most
prestigious venues in the country, the event saw thousands of
people gathered to explore the latest innovations shaping the TON
ecosystem.
The event underscored the growing influence of the TON ecosystem
with over 60 partners from across Web3 collaborating to showcase
its potential through live discussions, keynotes, and networking
sessions. Recognized as a driving force for Web3 mass adoption, the
TON ecosystem continues to push the boundaries of innovation
despite the market's volatility.
“We at TONX are deeply committed to fostering a culture of
innovation within the TON ecosystem. By bringing together thousands
of attendees across APAC and beyond, we’re not only pushing the
boundaries of what's possible but also highlighting the power of
our SuperApp ecosystem and the new economy,” said Wego, Co-Founder
of TONX.
Attendees were treated to an immersive experience featuring The
Open Art-themed event design and merchandise. Every detail was
meticulously crafted to reflect the values the TON ecosystem stands
for—freedom of expression, creativity, and innovation.
“We’re proud to have hosted the largest side event at Token2049,
setting another milestone for Blum,” said Vladimir Smerkis, CMO and
Co-founder of Blum. “While we operate fully online, there's a
unique value of in-person gatherings. This time, unlike April when
Blum launched, TON and Telegram were the clear focus, dominating
conversations throughout the whole conference period. Sign of
times.”
