On September 17th, Jesse Pollak, founder of Base, delivered an opening speech at FarCon Asia, the first major offline event for the Farcaster ecosystem in Asia. He stated:

Base protocol has been live for a full year. Now, Base has its own culture, mission, vision, and strategy. Our true focus is on how to expand Base to the world. Base plans to travel to different parts of the world, engage with builders, and understand how we can support them so Base can help them achieve greater success. The Base network allows the world to truly see the use cases for crypto consumers beyond money. Developers can build social products in a new way, open to everyone. So at Base, we're truly focused on supporting builders who are building social applications. I believe these applications will bring the next wave of users, taking us from hundreds of millions today to billions on-chain in the coming years.

In terms of stablecoins, the most exciting thing is actually non-dollar stablecoins. Base needs a Singapore dollar stablecoin, a Euro stablecoin, a Nigerian Naira stablecoin. If Base can bring all the world's currencies onto the chain, this will completely change people's perception of money. It's like having to use a new currency, but it's ten times faster and ten times cheaper, and global users will receive better financial services. Base wants to cultivate a truly vibrant ecosystem, an application that gives anyone a reason to participate. We want to build truly deep capital markets, allowing people to trade efficiently with high liquidity.

FarCon Asia, the first major offline event for the Farcaster ecosystem in Asia, was jointly organized by Tako Protocol, BlockBeats, and Jam. The event aimed to deeply explore and showcase the innovative achievements of the Farcaster ecosystem and the future prospects of Web3 social, breaking the stereotype of one-way output in traditional financial crypto conferences. The FarCon Asia event is expected to attract over 500 attendees, including Farcaster ecosystem builders, active Asian Farcaster users, VCs and prominent investors, and senior researchers.
