On September 14, HTX DAO hosted its first-ever Developer Ecosystem Meetup in Shanghai. Titled “Coding Season: Practical Paths for On-Chain Finance and Crypto Technology,” the event was a great success, bringing together developers and industry professionals.
The meetup brought together key figures for talks and discussions, including HTX DAO core builders Molly and Helium, HTX on-chain data analyst Carl.W, Conflux engineer Darwin, GeekWeb3 cofounder Baidin, and Sui Ambassador Pika..
HTX DAO is committed to build a global ecosystem that is open to all developers. The primary focus is to create new applications for the $HTX token on the blockchain by integrating CeFi with DeFi and exploring Real-World Assets (RWAs). This meetup was a significant step forward, providing a platform for developers to exchange ideas and helping HTX DAO expand its ecosystem and realize its vision of a “Free Finance Port.”
Advancing Innovation through CeFi × DeFi Integration
At the event, HTX DAO’s Molly announced that the organization has grown into a global community of more than 800,000 token holders across over 180 countries in just two years. She highlighted the revolutionary “X Fusion Paradigm”, which blends decentralized governance with powerful platform capabilities to create a true “Free Finance Port.”
This platform operates on two distinct levels.
HTX DAO is built on the TRON blockchain, which offers low gas fees, high TPS, and a vibrant stablecoin ecosystem for cross-border settlements. This foundation provides an efficient environment for creating innovative applications such as high-frequency trading protocols and cross-chain settlements. TRON’s mature DeFi protocols, including USDD, JustLend, and SunSwap, provide all the necessary tools for diverse development needs.
If TRON is the infrastructure of a financial port, HTX DAO is the “financial free trade zone” built on top of it. Through on-chain governance and a suite of innovative protocols, HTX DAO integrates the liquidity of HTX (CeFi) with its own decentralized autonomy (DeFi). This marks the rise of a new financial model under the “X Fusion Paradigm.”
HTX DAO positions itself as an incubator for new decentralized applications, not merely as an extension of the current financial system. It encourages developers to explore and innovate across key areas including Infrastructure Protocols, Yield Protocols, Asset Liquidity Protocols, Governance and Incentive Tools, and more, aiming to nurture the next generation of DeFi leaders.
Helium explained that the platform recognizes developers as the key drivers of ecosystem innovation. To that end, HTX DAO is designing an innovative Proof of Work (PoW) mechanism to identify and reward true contributors.
Three Core Values Shaping a New Financial Order
During the event, as speakers shared ideas and technical insights, the core values of HTX DAO became increasingly clear:
Security First: Security is the absolute foundation. From Sui ambassador Pika’s insights comparing the security of Move and Rust languages to HTX DAO’s full-chain approach to protecting transactions and assets, security stands at the core of its Free Finance Port and the foundation of trust.
Made for Developers: The platform is designed to be developer-friendly. From HTX on-chain data analyst Carl.W’s exploration of modular trading architecture to GeekWeb3 cofounder Baiding and Conflux engineer Darwin’s discussions on DeFi and EIP protocols, the focus was on making development more accessible. This approach allows more innovators to understand Web3 and build freely on HTX DAO’s open platform.
Ecosystem and Compliance: HTX DAO and its partners, including Conflux, are exploring compliance possibilities in Hong Kong and the broader global ecosystem. This forward-looking approach brings new opportunities to cross-regional, multi-scenario financial practices.
By collaborating with developers worldwide, HTX DAO is actively exploring the deep integration of CeFi and DeFi, continually pushing the boundaries of finance. It is well-positioned to become a driving force in shaping a new, open financial order.
About HTX DAO
As a multi-chain deployed decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), HTX DAO demonstrates an innovative governance approach. Unlike traditional corporate structures, it adopts a decentralized governance structure composed of a diversified group, jointly committed to the success of this organization. This unique ecosystem advocates openness and encourages all DAO participants to propose ideas that can promote the development of HTX DAO.
