Moscow, Russia, April 30, 2025 — The legendary crypto event, Blockchain Life 2025, broke a new attendance record of 15,600 participants. This forum transformed into a huge crypto festival and got support from many global leaders, including Justin Sun and others. 
For the first time in several years, leaders of the global crypto community gathered in Moscow. Over 100 speakers took to the stage, including industry pioneers, major companies, cutting-edge projects, and government representatives, including HTX, Bitget, TON, Bitcoin, BingX, Curve, PancakeSwap, Promminer, Listing Help, and many more. 

As always, the stage and behind-the-scenes negotiations were full of insider information. Attendees have discussed the most relevant trends and strategies for the upcoming bull run of 2025.
Justin Sun, being one of the speakers, made a tweet just half an hour before his speech at the Blockchain Forum 2025. He emphasized that the Russian community is one of the most important players in the crypto space. The most surprising thing about the tweet was that it was written in Russian.

The event turned into a huge festival, with the venue space doubling in size thanks to a large-scale construction project just outside. The exhibition area featured 151 booths showcasing crypto companies. Major players like HTX, ViaBTC, BingX, Promminer, MEXC, Bitcluster, Bitget and others offered attendees exclusive views on the latest technologies and services.

The culmination of the event was an official afterparty inspired by The Matrix vides — an all-inclusive bash featuring a live concert by the invited guest star Timati.
A remarkable number of side events took place around the forum dates, with over 100 additional gatherings planned across Moscow. Attendees had no shortage of options, each finding events that matched their interests. Moscow welcomed a record number of crypto enthusiasts, marking one of the largest gatherings to date.

The event is organized by Listing.Help and Jets.Capital, with RustekhMash as the General Sponsor, Promminer as the Title Sponsor, and BingX as the Strategic Partner.
The next Blockchain Life Forum is set to take place in Dubai on October 28–29, 2025.

The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) hosted a landmark event in the Web3 space – Chain Fusion Hub @ Token2049 Singapore from September 19th to 20th, 2024, ahead of Singapore's signature Formula One Night Race. This exclusive event series, held in the iconic Fullerton Hotel Singapore, brought together the brightest minds in blockchain technology for two days of insightful discussions, groundbreaking collaborations, and a glimpse into the future of Web3. Here are some key takeaways from the event. 
Key Highlights from the Event
A New Era of Bitcoin Integration: The Chain Fusion Hub Singapore event showcased pivotal solutions for the Bitcoin ecosystem, happening alongside the integration of Internet Computer Protocol’s (ICP) ckBTC, a non-custodial, chain key digital twin of BTC, into the Cosmos network.This groundbreaking development, powered by Osmosis and Omnity, promises to abdicate the controversial wBTC, and revolutionize how users transact Bitcoin interoperably within the DeFi space.Building the Infrastructure for the Future: The event featured a series of focused sessions exploring the potential of Web3 across various sectors. From AI-powered smart cities in ‘AI Web3 City’ to interoperable blockchains in ‘Chain Fusion Day’, speakers like Kumardev Chatterjee of Blue Hat Founders, Du Yu of Wanxiang Blockchain Labs, Dominic Williams, Chief Scientist of DFinity Foundation, Louis Liu, Co-Founder of Omnity Network and Sunny Aggarwal, Co-Founder of Osmosis, shared valuable insights into the future of this transformative technology.Fostering Collaboration and Innovation: The Chain Fusion Hub provided a platform for industry leaders to connect, collaborate, and explore new opportunities.

Event Highlights from Chain Fusion Hub @ Token2049 Singapore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPbaKuAW1nE
ICP, Omnity and Osmosis: Paving the Way for a Better BTC Experience
By integrating ckBTC, Omnity and Osmosis will provide Cosmos users with a more secure, efficient, and user-friendly way to interact with Bitcoin within the DeFi ecosystem. 
The integration of ckBTC enhances the interoperability of these platforms, allowing users to seamlessly move their Bitcoin holdings between different DeFi applications and protocols. This reduces friction and makes it easier for users to participate in the broader Web3 ecosystem.
Moreover, as a non-custodial solution, users have full control over their ckBTC funds. This eliminates the risk of counterparty risk associated with traditional wrapped Bitcoin solutions. By using Omnity and Osmosis, users can benefit from the enhanced security provided by ckBTC, reducing the risk of their assets being compromised.
By providing expanded access to DeFi applications, increased liquidity, improved interoperability, and enhanced security, this partnership benefits users in more ways than one.
Kumardev Chatterjee, Du Yu and Dr. TRY Sophal on City Planning and the possibility of Blockchain-powered ‘Cognitive’ Cities at AI Web3 City 
On the first day, Tracy Traschler, Head of Institutional Relations of Dfinity, moderated a panel to  discuss a burning question, “What will Smart Cities actually look like in the near future and where do you see AI and Blockchain fitting into this?”. Interesting insights came from the CEO of Blue Hat Founders, Kumardev Chatterjee, highlighting the technological and situational roadblocks that designers and developers face at the stage of implementation, and the importance of public-private sector cooperation to sustainably build up cities that can be deemed ‘smart’. 
Mr. Du Yu, General Manager of Wanxiang Blockchain Labs, echoed Kumardev’s sentiment with an industry focus, emphasizing the need for manufacturers to work with the government to build smart-powered industrial superplants which will pave the path for other smart-powered infrastructure to be built in the future. “We want to attract different people, different industries, and different research institutions through the land. What we need from the government is to approve the planning, help build the infrastructure, and what we can do is bring new talent, bring new industries into this plant to form this cohesive, smart city-focused ecosystem”, said Mr Du Yu.
Chiming in from a governmental perspective, Dr. TRY Sophal, Director General of the Ministry of Science and Tech in Cambodia, points out the roadblocks that the government faces at the stage of implementation, but reiterates that the transition to smart cities is inevitable, and that Cambodia is taking the lead. 
On the topic of AI and blockchain’s role in smart cities, the idea of ‘cognitive’ cities was brought up. Chatterjee explains the difference, arguing that smart cities already exist without AI and blockchain. What AI and blockchain will bring to the table is intelligent data, and integrating AI and blockchain would unlock a whole new level of possibility for urban living.
Pierre Samaties and Michael Terpin on The Future of Investing in AI, Silicon Valley and AI Innovation Landscape
On Day Two, we had Pierre Samaties from DFinity kicking it off with a welcome address from ICP,  touching on how essential it is to build a decentralized AI-powered ecosystem on Internet Computer. To date, he said, over 60 AI projects are being built on the Internet Computer. This was followed by a series of panels discussing the latest AI technologies in development, leading up to questions about how AI and Blockchain can be synergized. 
Speaking on the shift from centralized computing to decentralized AI, Michael Terpin pointed out that decentralized AI adoption in blockchain is occurring at a rapid pace because of its ability to connect all stakeholders seamlessly, which greatly reduces reliance on intermediaries like individual data centers and fosters more efficient access to blockchain data. 
The event concluded with some fascinating project showcases from the ICP ecosystem, including Decide.AI, an AI driven DAO which leverages Internet Computer’s blockchain to run OpenAI’s GPT-2 model on-chain. 
The Chain Fusion Hub Singapore - A Significant Step Forward for Web3
Chain Fusion Hub in Singapore was more than just an event; it was a testament to the rapid evolution and growing potential of the Web3 ecosystem.

A strategic partnership has been announced between the Omnity omnichain hub and the leading Cosmos DEX and DeFi hub, Osmosis. The two companies are teaming up to bridge Chain-Key Bitcoin ($ckBTC) via Internet Computer (ICP) to the Cosmos ecosystem.
ckBTC is a non-custodial Bitcoin (BTC) token built on the Internet Computer blockchain. It is soon to be available on Osmosis, a DEX boasting US$35 billion of cumulative trading volume, an existing BTC liquidity of US$16 million, and more than 100 connected blockchains on the Osmosis appchain. As the most robust solution to bridge non-custodial BTC to Cosmos, the partnership between Osmosis and Omnity aims to provide the highest standards in security and integration for holders of ckBTC and expand the token’s reach and functionality. The partners also hope to start a prosperous connection between ICP and Cosmos, with liquidity and cross-chain functionality enriched in both ecosystems.

Omnity’s cross-chain functionality relies on Chain Fusion, which allows ICP smart contracts to directly sign and submit transactions to other chains. Omnity Network leverages this capability to act as a Bitcoin Asset Hub, seamlessly bridging ckBTC and other Bitcoin assets to different blockchain networks. With the integration of Omnity with Osmosis, ckBTC can be securely transferred across multiple blockchains, reducing transaction costs, minimizing latency, and enhancing security.

Speaking on the integration, Sunny Aggarwal, Co-Founder of Osmosis said, "Cosmos has reached a state where the technology stack is capable of supporting hyperbitcoinization, and Osmosis will play a significant role in the Bitcoin renaissance by unifying BTC liquidity across the DeFi ecosystem. This joint effort with Omnity and the ICP community supports increased Bitcoin utility and interoperability and lets users do more with their BTC than just hold it."

Through the partnership, Omnity has developed an on-chain route to connect Osmosis with ICP’s ckBTC subnet through its omnichain hub, enabling secure cross-chain transactions with low fees and fast finality. This route verifies cross-chain messages between the Bitcoin network, including Layer 2 solutions, and Osmosis, facilitating trustless asset transfers like ckBTC without relying on off-chain processes. By integrating ICP's Chain Fusion technology and leveraging IBC protocol, Omnity strengthens interoperability between Bitcoin assets and the Osmosis ecosystem.
“Unlocking interoperability and a cross-chain pathway between ICP and Cosmos is an exciting moment for Omnity. Through the use of the on-chain route, we are providing a specialized smart contract that ensures secure and efficient communication between the two networks, and is part of our broader interoperability stack,” said Louis Liu, Co-Founder and CEO of Omnity Network.

Speaking on the importance of the partnership between Omnity and Osmosis, Founder and Chief Scientist at DFINITY Dominic Williams said,  “ckBTC is the first and only trustless bitcoin twin, which is backed by math and native blockchain security, rather than crypto ‘bridges’ whose operators must be trusted. It can be transferred with low seconds finality and relatively miniscule fees on the Internet Computer, or at the speed and cost of other blockchains that integrate. The partnership between Omnity and Osmosis, a widely-used DEX, makes ckBTC available on Cosmos, illustrating the potential of BTC within decentralized finance and advancing the cause of cross-chain interoperability.”

About Internet Computer
The Internet Computer (ICP) is a groundbreaking blockchain platform supporting secure, scalable, decentralized applications. ICP offers a scalable, secure and cross-chain solution. Its Chain Fusion technology integrates Bitcoin directly into the network via ckBTC, allowing ICP smart contracts to read and write directly to the Bitcoin network. Chain Fusion enables secure, trustless asset transfers and an exceptional user experience.
