Explore the 6 award-winning projects from the ICP Global Townhall roadshow event
It has been several days since the ICP Global Townhall roadshow event ended, but we are still reminiscing about its brilliance. The roadshow session can be described as a marathon of Web3 creativity, and witnessing it firsthand is rare. The Townhall segment showcased the future of decentralized technology, focusing on visionary builders worldwide and projects with the potential to make an impact in the real world. Among more than 60 compelling proposals, six projects stood out as winners, each showcasing a unique approach to solving problems using blockchain and decentralized technology.
2025 is proving to be a key year for ICP, with exciting events, strategic plans, and meaningful milestones. The ICP Global Townhall Roadshow roundtable held from March 28 to 29 marked another significant moment in the Web3 space. This event lasted 18 hours, showcasing over 90 projects from around the world, with more than 50 expert judges and over 20,000 attendees participating in the event, where Web3 builders gathered to showcase their solutions on a global stage, creating history. Next, we will explore these projects, and we will also share the winners of the project proposals from each regional competition and look ahead to the next steps.
Weekend Chat | The Logic Behind Sun Ge Holding a Grenada Passport
I am a professional in immigration, and immigration clients have various needs. Overall, immigration clients can be divided into three categories: High net worth individuals at the top of the pyramid Middle class and above People who lack budget but urgently want to go abroad People who lack budget but urgently want to go abroad usually choose to smuggle, illegally stay, and remain underground locally. This group aims to change their fate; they escape from their original environment to places with higher potential and where physical labor is more valuable to change their destiny. The middle class wants to immigrate for a better life, to work in developed countries, where work and life can be balanced, and the income for the time spent is worthy of their efforts. Small children enjoy better education and healthier food. Middle-class immigration means the whole family goes out, living overseas for a long time, accepting immigration monitoring.
1. Project Overview OISY wallet is an innovative decentralized digital asset wallet incubated by the DFINITY Foundation, aimed at reshaping the DeFi user experience through a fully on-chain architecture. As the world's first on-chain wallet supporting multi-chain assets (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, ICP, etc.), OISY utilizes the Chain Fusion technology of the Internet Computer (ICP) to deeply integrate security, transparency, and multi-chain compatibility, addressing issues such as fragmentation, security vulnerabilities, and operational complexity of traditional wallets. Its core vision is to become the unified terminal for users entering the multi-chain DeFi world, promoting the paradigm shift of 'Onchain is the New Online.'
The Storage Model of the Internet Computer and the Roadmap for More Storage Development
In this blog post, we clarify the storage model of the Internet Computer (IC) and provide some insights related to the roadmap for more storage. We first outline what types of storage blockchain can typically provide, then detail the unique trade-offs achieved by the Internet Computer architecture, and finally outline the next milestones on the roadmap to implementing more storage. In the context of blockchain storage, broadly speaking, two types of storage can be distinguished: fully replicated storage and distributed storage. The Internet Computer relies on fully replicated storage, where as part of the protocol, it ensures that all participating nodes store a complete copy of the data - commonly referred to as replicated state - therefore, this type of storage supports direct read/write/update/delete operations as part of any action agreed upon in a replicated manner by participating nodes via some consensus protocol.

When Ciphertext Vanishes: Len Sassaman and the Unseen Shadow
Those numbers never lie; they are just silent, like him. I first saw Len Sassaman's name in a cryptography mailing list one late night. It was the autumn of 2008, and the air was filled with the dust of financial collapse. The words in the list were cold and precise, discussing elliptic curve cryptography and hash functions. Then, amidst a pile of technical jargon, a passage appeared with a human touch - someone described "a completely peer-to-peer electronic cash system" in poetic language. The one who signed as Satoshi Nakamoto spoke in a way that resembled Len.
Three Cities in a Play: When Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai Begin to Compete
At 3 a.m. in Central, Miss Lin hangs her high heels on the fire hydrant in Lan Kwai Fong. The crypto wallet in her hand just received a payment of 0.5 Bitcoin from a Dubai client. Looking up, she sees the LED screen of the IFC building cycling through the Hong Kong government's Web3 declaration. At that moment, the neon light of the tea restaurant short circuits, turning 'silk stockings milk tea' into 'silk-dead woman tea' - this is probably Hong Kong's magic realism.
I. Financial Three Kingdoms Kill: When Eastern Wall Street Begins to Compete Recently, Hong Kong's financial elites have collectively changed their signatures on LinkedIn to 'Web3 Evangelist', as if it wasn't them boasting about Hong Kong stock IPO results just last week. This collective transformation agility reminds one of the nationwide push to learn Mandarin before the '97 handover. The virtual asset licenses issued by the Monetary Authority last year are more sought after than pineapple buns at tea restaurants. It's just that when Bitcoin ATMs enter the subdivided flats of Sham Shui Po, will those programmers with a monthly salary of 15,000 use half a month's salary to buy 0.001 BTC?
