Last week, the Essentia team (Jay Lee, VP Asia and Jung Hoon Han, Business Developer Asia) took part in Asia’s most prominent blockchain conference! Of course, we’re talking about the esteemed Korea Blockchain Week and Beyond Blocks that was held from July 16–20th in Seoul, South Korea.
This was an excellent opportunity to both introduce Essentia on the world stage as well as to spend time with members of our community in South Korea!
In attendance were global leaders from the financial, business and blockchain sectors and hot on the agenda were pressing issues currently facing the cryptospace — scalability, use-cases, and interoperation.
As you all know, these are some of the strengths of our project and we were happy to share Essentia with everyone!
Let’s take a look together at who we had a chance to meet and speak with!
We had the good fortune to meet up with a number of projects that we are currently partnered with (GANA, ORCA, and APIS)!
