Deeply Layout Developer Ecology: HTX DAO Appears at GWDC 2026 and Delivers Keynote Speech

As one of the highlights of this trip to Hong Kong, from February 8 to 9, HTX DAO made a significant appearance as a gold sponsor at the "Global Web3 Developer Conference" (GWDC 2026) held at Cyberport in Hong Kong.

At the conference, HTX DAO ambassador Molly delivered an in-depth speech titled "The DAO Path: Decentralization without Dogma," systematically elaborating on HTX DAO's rethinking and practical path of the "People's Exchange" concept.

Molly revealed that over the past two years, the team has attempted to directly decide major issues through user voting in the process of practicing the "People's Exchange" concept, such as proposals to burn 99% of tokens. However, these practices exposed the limitations of "dogmatic decentralization": if only pursuing formal democracy, it is easy to be swayed by short-term emotions, which deviates from the essence of sustainable development. Subsequently, a consensus gradually formed within the community: prices cannot be supported long-term through emotional proposals or radical actions; what truly determines value is a robust economic model, sustainable application scenarios, and the stability of the holder structure.

Based on this understanding, HTX DAO has focused on advancing three areas of construction over more than two years. First, improving the economic model by establishing a transparent deflationary mechanism, using 50% of Huobi HTX's quarterly revenue to burn $HTX and writing it into the white paper, regularly disclosing revenue and burn data to institutionalize market trust. Second, promoting the construction of on-chain governance mechanisms, retaining community participation while avoiding dogmatic "decentralization for the sake of decentralization" formalism. Third, shaping a long-term community culture by embedding profit mechanisms related to users' interests into the governance framework, allowing holders to gain actual returns in asset growth and risk hedging.

Data shows that the number of HTX DAO holding addresses has grown from about 40,000 in the early days to over 800,000, with the holder base continuously expanding. In the context of severe market fluctuations, $HTX has shown relatively stable characteristics, reflecting the defensive attributes of its model design. Meanwhile, the team has conducted dozens of offline activities globally, covering multiple countries and regions, strengthening direct connections with users, and promoting the DAO concept from concept to practice.

Molly also revealed that in 2026, HTX DAO will launch three major actions:

• Open Developer Ecology: Open on-chain product interfaces to global developers, incentivizing innovation through a co-building and sharing model;

• Incubate New Narratives: Establish special organizations and provide funding and human resources support for emerging tracks such as RWA;

• Build HTX DAO Cultural System: Improve the volunteer system and ambassador mechanism, promote community culture construction, and attract talents from diverse backgrounds to participate in DAO governance.

Blossoming in Multiple Areas, Expanding Global Ecological Map

In addition to the developer conference, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO also made significant appearances at multiple high-profile peripheral events, further expanding the global ecological map.

On the evening of February 9, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO attended "Alpha Night," hosted by MyToken, as official partners. In this gathering of top alpha hunters and institutional investors, the HTX Ventures team established deep connections with many potential projects, showcasing their keen sense in discovering quality early-stage assets.

Following that, on February 10, HTX DAO attended the "Build and Scale in 2026" themed forum jointly organized by ChainCatcher, RootData, and Alibaba Cloud as a brand-certified partner.

During this trip to Hong Kong, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO fully demonstrated their comprehensive industry penetration in the Web3 field. In the future, both parties will continue to uphold the vision of "building a Web3 financial free port," leading the industry through continuous ecological investment and industry co-construction, and welcoming the next golden age of the crypto world.
