Sailor Zhong remarked that security is an extremely important issue for the development of the Web3 industry, and that there will be some new solutions to solve DeFi's problems in the future. Therefore, Web3 can significantly boost the market's confidence in DeFi and brings forth enormous opportunities.

Calvin Cheng emphasized that the best way to run Web3 projects is to attract fans from the traditional Web2 field and gradually convert them into Web3 habitants. This transition boils down to the product design and user experience which should by no means be troublesome or complicated. The best solution is to allow users to experience Web3 opportunities with one click. In the salon themed How can Crypto VC invest and survive better in a bearish market?, Dr. Yu JianingPresident of Huoda Education, Honorary Chairman of Hong Kong Blockchain Association and Chairman of Metaverse Committee of Asian Blockchain Industry Institute, Ciara SunFounder and Managing Partner of C Ventures, DujunCo-Founder and Managing Partner of Huobi and ABCDE Capital, GMPartner of Dragonfly and Shunyet JanAsia-Pacific Branch Head of Tower Research Capital gave the participants professional advice on surviving bear markets based on their past experience as top investors. AD AD Dujun believes that the demand for more and more complex blockchain applications makes the Ethereum Layer 2 network a key direction for future innovation. In particular, the Ethernet account abstraction protocol ERC- 4337 is worth extra attention. Ciara Sun, on the other hand, remarked that, as the Federal Reserve increases interest rate and the macro environment deteriorates, the crypto field seems to nosedive to the bottom or near-bottom zone again. The top priority for institutions at this moment is to keep on their research on investment to better prepare themselves for the next bull market. In addition, the pan-technology field represented by Web3 is a technological revolution and thought experiment where both men and women must be present. This means that the Web 3 era should see the removal of gender inequality and give floor to women to demonstrate their power in the blockchain industry. For the future of Web3, Dr. Yu Jianing suggested that the Web3 revolution will be a global trend, and that a new round of Internet iteration and upgrade is already on its way, reaching any corner of the world.
