As Web3 evolves, the spotlight is shifting from infrastructure to the consumer experience. "The Era of Consumer-First Web3" is the second edition of the Borderless Summit, a conference dedicated to exploring the most pressing trends in Web3 through the lenses of both Eastern and Western perspectives.

This summit brings together global leaders, innovators, and visionaries to explore how emerging consumer dApps in Web3 are set to redefine the industry. With a focus on real-world adoption, the summit will dive into the opportunities and challenges of creating a truly consumer-first ecosystem, where user experience takes precedence over code.

Join us as we bridge East and West to unlock new insights into the future of Web3—where the revolution will indeed be consumerized.
