In 2023, what happened in this industry?
Memes continued dominating the scene, reflecting the industry's unspoken requirement for engaging and amusing. Following a shift in momentum away from Singapore, Hong Kong introduced a series of policies aimed at vigorously developing the cryptocurrency industry, seeking to leverage the burgeoning crypto wealth to reclaim its position as the financial center of Asia. Projects like RWA, Inscriptions, and SocialFi each garnered attention during different periods, contributing to waves of interest in the industry.
Looking back, we were also part of every trend:
The Arweave meme contest organized by PermaDAO ambassadors received positive feedback in the English-speaking community and ultimately selected a screenshot of a speech by Arweave founder @samecwilliams as the winning meme. Well, Germans even bring a sense of rigor to humor...

At the Hong Kong Wanxiang Blockchain Conference, we also organized a gathering and met many new and old friends. Usually, everyone is active in the group chat, so there was no barrier when we met offline for the first time as if we had known each other for years.
And the annual Arweave Day in Asia conference held in Singapore.
As for RWA, SocialFi, and Inscriptions, you can search for keywords or click on the hyperlinks in PermaDAO's public account to explore our ArNostr, the ARIS framework built by community partners, and the insightful perspectives of community researchers on the macro and micro developments of RWA.
The captivating photographic memories pause aside. Besides the scenes and characters vividly before us, let's explore all the data sedimentation and achievements we've accumulated.
