PBA & Hong Kong Cyberport jointly host a Polkadot offline event! See you in Hong Kong on October 13!

After a decade-long transformation from crypto assets to real-world applications, "on-chain" is no longer just an individual action or a corporate experiment. Today, more and more countries are seriously exploring how to gradually bring public services, identity systems, financial infrastructure, and even educational systems into the blockchain world.

On October 13 (UTC+8), Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) will join hands with Hong Kong Cyberport to present a highly practical event—"How to Bring Your Full Nation On-Chain? Real-World Use Cases for Web3 Adoption".

This is not just an academic exchange, but an open discussion for developers, students, policymakers, and investors:

When we talk about "on-chain," what exactly are we talking about?

Can Web3 technology truly become a national-level digital infrastructure?

Who is driving this transformation? How far are we from it?

Why "National-Level"?

In recent years, the mainstream narrative of global Web3 has shifted from DeFi and NFT to Real-World Adoption.

From Estonia's digital identity system (e-Residency), the UAE's on-chain government platform, to Indonesia's Mandala Chain promoting government departments' migration on-chain—we are seeing more and more "nations" not just as regulators or bystanders, but as "participants".

Against this backdrop, "nation on-chain" is not a fantasy, but a long-term trend:

• Data Sovereignty: Ensuring that citizens' data truly belongs to the citizens themselves. 
• Transparent Governance: Making budgets, voting, and approval processes traceable and verifiable. 
• Trustless Economy: Enabling transactions, contracts, and asset certificates to operate autonomously in a trustless environment. 

Polkadot's multi-chain architecture and shared security mechanism are inherently capable of supporting such "multi-agency, multi-level, cross-department" systems.

The mission of Polkadot Blockchain Academy is to turn this potential into tangible educational and practical outcomes.

Event Highlights: From Education to Policy, from Technology to Real Cases

This event is co-hosted by Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) and Hong Kong Cyberport, with Harbour Industrial Capital and Polkaport East as co-organizers.

The event will unfold on three levels:

1️⃣ Real-world case studies of national-level Web3 adoption

Speakers from PBA will present several real-world cases based on Polkadot technology:

• How to promote Web3 educational systems in Latin America, Asia, and Europe; 
• On-chain governance experiments promoted by collaborations between government agencies, universities, and foundations; 
• How public infrastructure can enhance trust through on-chain transparency. 

These cases go beyond "concepts" and are real, operational projects involving identity authentication, data sharing, educational certification, treasury transparency, and more.

2️⃣ The intersection of Web3 education, policy, and technology in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is at a critical turning point in its Web3 strategy.

From government policy support, Cyberport's incubation programs, to university curricula and blockchain R&D, Hong Kong has become one of the few cities in Asia with the triple advantage of policy, capital, and technology.

PBA will share how it collaborates with local universities to extend "blockchain education" from the classroom to society and enterprise practice.

3️⃣ Cross-sector networking and collaboration opportunities

The event will bring together developers, students, researchers, investors, and policymakers from around the world. This is not just a lecture, but a multilateral dialogue about the future.

You may meet your next partner, mentor, or even project investor at the event.

Why is it worth participating?

Many people may ask: "Nation on-chain" sounds too grand—what does it have to do with me?

In fact, the value of this event lies precisely in allowing every individual to understand their place in this grand process.

Whether you are:

• A student wanting to understand the logic of blockchain adoption in the real world; 
• An entrepreneur or developer looking to explore cooperation with public sectors, universities, or institutions; 
• An investor seeking technological breakthroughs or investment opportunities; 
• Or a policymaker considering Web3 policy and regulatory frameworks; 

This event will provide you with a unique perspective—showing you that "decentralization" is not just an idealistic slogan, but a social structure that can be gradually realized.

Hong Kong: The Next Node of Web3 in Asia!

Hong Kong is embracing Web3 at an astonishing speed. From the government-supported "Web3 Task Force" to hundreds of blockchain startups in Cyberport, from university blockchain courses to the presence of multiple international institutions, Hong Kong is becoming the bridgehead of Web3 in Asia.

Polkadot Blockchain Academy's choice to hold this event here is not just a regional educational exchange, but also a signal:

The future of Web3 is not just on-chain finance, but on-chain society.

Here, you will witness the intersection of academia, industry, investment, and policy. This is a Web3 experimental ground that is taking shape and full of possibilities.
