The Gather for Growth: Ordinals Summit 2023
On September 12, over 400 enthusiasts gathered at the Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay in Singapore for the inaugural Ordinals Summit 2023. Asia’s first major event focused on Ordinals saw experts, developers, investors, artists, and collectors come together to navigate the ever-evolving world of crypto. You could feel the electricity in the room — no, not just from the laptops!
A Day Packed with Knowledge
The summit was a whirlwind of information, featuring seven engaging panel sessions and four thought-provoking keynote addresses. Each session dived deep into topics like the enticing new opportunities in the Ordinals ecosystem, the robust Bitcoin BUIDL culture, and the unique challenges facing current and aspiring investors. Not to mention the closing fireside chat — which may or may not have come with marshmallows!
Star Speakers and Surprises
The speaker lineup was nothing short of star-studded, showcasing industry heavyweights like Udi Wertheimer (the genius behind Taproot Wizards), Domo (the BRC-20 mastermind), and Erin Redwing (COO at Ordinals Protocol). A special surprise appearance by Casey Rodarmor, the creator of Bitcoin Ordinals, left the audience buzzing. You could hear the collective gasp when he walked on stage; it was more dramatic than a reality TV reveal!
Art, Innovation, and an AI Twist
Art enthusiasts could feast their eyes on a stunning crypto art exhibition curated by Radarboy3000. Featuring works from various incredible artists, the exhibition showcased the intersection of technology and creativity. Not to be outdone, the summit introduced an immersive 3D virtual gallery at N3WBS Gallery, an exclusive space for the Ordinals community that even future holographic versions of us would envy.
Game-Changing Announcements
Several groundbreaking announcements were made, igniting excitement among attendees. U-Zyn Chua introduced an innovative Honor-Based Creators Royalty feature for Ordzaar — a platform designed to support zero-fee Bitcoin Ordinals transactions.
