HTX Ventures and HTX DAO Make Multidimensional Appearances at Consensus 2026 to Build a Sustainable Web3 Ecosystem
Shining over Hong Kong!
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
From February 11 to 12, Consensus 2026—the premier annual event for the global blockchain industry—was held in Hong Kong. As a leader in the Web3 space, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO actively participated in the summit. By taking center stage at the main venue and multiple high-profile side events, they joined global developers, investment institutions, and industry leaders to showcase HTX Ventures’ and HTX DAO’s strategic vision for driving technological innovation and ecosystem growth.

During Consensus 2026, HTX Ventures made a major appearance. Against the backdrop of increasingly clear global regulatory frameworks and continuous upgrades to digital asset infrastructure, HTX Ventures focused on early-stage innovative projects, core infrastructure investments, and global ecosystem collaboration. It engaged in deep dialogue and resource alignment with developers, investment institutions, and project teams from around the world—further strengthening its forward-looking capabilities in emerging sectors such as AI+Web3, RWA (Real-World Assets), and modular blockchains.

Deepening Developer Ecosystem Engagement: HTX DAO Appears at GWDC 2026 and Delivers Flagship Speech
One of the highlights of HTX’s Hong Kong trip was its participation in the Global Web3 Dev Con (GWDC 2026), held at Cyberport Hong Kong from February 8–9. HTX DAO served as a Gold Sponsor of the event.
At the conference, HTX DAO Ambassador Molly delivered a thought-provoking keynote titled “The DAO Journey: Decentralization Beyond Dogma,” offering a systematic overview of HTX DAO’s rethinking and practical implementation of the “People’s Exchange” philosophy.
Molly revealed that over the past two years, the team had experimented with direct user voting on major decisions—such as proposals to burn 99% of tokens. However, these efforts exposed the limitations of “dogmatic decentralization”: pursuing democratic formalism alone risks being swayed by short-term sentiment, ultimately undermining long-term sustainability. A consensus gradually emerged within the community: price cannot be sustainably supported by emotionally driven proposals or radical actions; true value stems from sound economic models, viable use cases, and stable holder composition.
Built upon this insight, HTX DAO has prioritized three key initiatives over the past two-plus years. First, refining its economic model by instituting a transparent deflationary mechanism—allocating 50% of HTX’s quarterly revenue toward burning $HTX, codified in the whitepaper, and regularly publishing revenue and burn data to institutionalize market trust. Second, advancing on-chain governance mechanisms—retaining meaningful community participation while avoiding hollow, dogmatic “decentralization for decentralization’s sake.” Third, cultivating a long-termist community culture—embedding tangible, user-aligned incentive mechanisms into the governance framework so holders receive real returns through asset appreciation and risk hedging.
Data shows that the number of $HTX holding addresses has grown from roughly 40,000 in the early days to over 800,000, reflecting steady expansion of its holder base. Amid sharp market volatility, $HTX has demonstrated relative resilience—a testament to the defensive design of its underlying model. Meanwhile, the team has hosted dozens of offline events across multiple countries and regions, reinforcing direct user engagement and moving DAO principles from theory into practice.
Molly also announced HTX DAO’s three major initiatives for 2026:
- Opening the Developer Ecosystem: Providing global developers with open on-chain product APIs, incentivizing innovation through co-creation and shared ownership;
- Fostering Emerging Narratives: Establishing dedicated teams and providing funding and talent support for emerging sectors such as RWA;
- Building the HTX DAO Cultural Framework: Strengthening volunteer and ambassador programs to foster community culture and attract diverse talent into DAO governance.

Multifaceted Expansion Across the Global Ecosystem
Beyond developer conferences, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO also appeared at numerous high-caliber side events, further expanding their global ecosystem footprint.
On the evening of February 9, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO joined “Alpha Night,” hosted by MyToken and officially co-sponsored by both entities. At this gathering of top-tier alpha hunters and institutional investors, HTX Ventures forged deep connections with numerous promising projects—demonstrating its sharp acumen in identifying high-quality early-stage assets.
Immediately following, on February 10, HTX DAO attended the “Build and Scale in 2026” forum co-hosted by ChainCatcher, RootData, and Alibaba Cloud—as a Brand-Certified Partner.
This Hong Kong trip fully showcased HTX Ventures’ and HTX DAO’s comprehensive industry penetration across the Web3 landscape. Moving forward, both will continue advancing their shared vision of building a “Web3 Financial Free Port,” guiding the industry through cycles via sustained ecosystem investment and collaborative development—and ushering in crypto’s next golden era.
