HODL: A Name that Speaks to Blockchain’s Bold Future

Being at the core of the global blockchain movement, the World Blockchain Summit has long served as the melting pot for blockchain disruptors, visionaries and innovators to help turn ideas into reality.   

Over the past 29 editions, the summit has seen faces like Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder, Polygon Labs, Charles Hoskinson, CEO and Founder, Input Output Global, Frederik Gregard, CEO and Founder, Cardano Foundation and more come together and chart out their blueprint for a blockchain driven future.  

With a legacy left behind that not only saw blockchain move away from being a ‘someday’ technology towards becoming a fundamental building block for critical industry. The World Blockchain Summit embraces a new identity, the HODL Summit 

With the ecosystem expanding and our commitment to disrupt the status quo, it was a logical step for us to show our long-term commitment to the faith that we have in technology to become the backbone of the global digital transformation movement.  

HODL Summit isn’t just a name but a route to further strengthen and reflect our connection with the blockchain and web3 community 

The HODL Shift: Why This Change Matters 

One question that we were constantly asked was, ‘Why HODL?’   For us, it was to relate to a name that not only would reflect our commitment to the ecosystem but would further thrust a blockchain-driven fourth industrial revolution forward.  

With our platform now evolving, so is our concept about the nature of the event that we want to offer innovators, enterprises, startups and government bodies. We envision it as a hub for these stakeholders to deliberate about the practicality of emerging blockchain solutions in driving the global economies to a digital future with industries like metaverse, crypto, fintech and more at the heart of the movement.  

The name change is more than just to add a software patch to our identity but to focus on our deep-rooted commitment that resonates with everyone from the community. Moving away from the standard all-size-fits-all format to more specialised themes that will focus on the health of the global blockchain infrastructure, digital asset domain, regulatory climate, green mining, metaverse and more. 

Reflecting Our Vision for the Future 

Taking a future-forward approach and embodying a name that is ingrained in the crypto culture, HODL Summit will not only demonstrate the latest innovations and its applicability but opens the doors for innovators and industries to collaborate.  

Expanding on our commitment to help blockchain and the crypto community sustain a thriving ecosystem, HODL will not only continue to drive the understanding of blockchain, but it will also help innovators and disruptors cultivate lasting relationships and provide key funding opportunities with passionate investors and icons from the Web3 space.  

For us, it is more than just about organizing another garden variety event but to foster a robust platform where the community can come together, collaborate and further help them make crucial inroads in the global digital transformation journey.
