Details

This event will be held for the 6th time since the first NFT conference held in Japan in 2018, the Tokyo Blockchain Game Conference. From the beginning, we have been working on the spread of NFT (Non-Fungible Token) and the healthy development of the industry, but with the rapid expansion of the market in 2022, discussions about the future surrounding NFT began rapidly.

Although high-priced art transactions and auction bidding have become a hot topic and attracted attention, NFT is not only about the final product, but also about the production background and history, the connections and thoughts between fans and artists, and the process of taking on new challenges. It's a technology that adds value to areas that have been acknowledged to exist but haven't materialized. In recent years, various uses of NFTs other than art have begun to spread, but there are still many people who have not updated the concept of NFTs.

Web3 is starting to attract attention as a new growth industry in Japan, and NFT is an important element of web3. Since NFT is a new concept and a field that is growing day by day, there will be areas where it will not be possible to catch up just by applying it to existing frameworks, so discussions across various industries will be necessary.

This event will be held as a place to discuss the future of NFT beyond the boom and discuss the foundation as an industry.
