What an Event! TexChange Unbrokered Inc. had an amazing experience participating in the Web3 Innovation Summit at 1871! 🚀 The event, marked the end of the Web3 Innovation Lab which took place over the past several months where we developed and integrated our on-chain stored transaction feature of our platform with Stripe Connect and Solana. The purpose, to increase transparency so buyers and sellers can verify who they're doing business with and make transactions on the platform directly with the ability to exchange crypto for fiat currency for material and services transactions. The event was two full days of Web3 programming and networking. The agenda included keynotes, pitch showcases, networking breakfast & lunches, expert panels, startup expos, and a happy hour. One of the highlights for us was the opportunity to pitch our innovative solutions and table at the summit. This allowed us to showcase our vision and interact directly with growth and late-stage startups, corporate partners, VCs, industry leaders, and public attendees. Our biggest takeaway from the summit was learning something new, making new friends, and collaborating with others. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore the future of Web3 and decentralized tech programming. We delved deep into the world of Web3, shared our insights, and learned from industry experts. We're excited about the future of Web3 and our role in it! Thank you to our peers in the web3 cohort and the organizers of the Web3 Innovation Lab for your support and friendship. Arry Y.
