2023 Hong Kong Web3 Festival
In April, imToken Wallet participated in the 2023 Hong Kong Web3 Festival, launched jointly by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group, and jointly hosted the "Web3 Financial Infrastructure: Digital Wallet and DID" forum on April 13th. We invited industry experts to discuss the applications and challenges of digital wallets and decentralized identities in future financial infrastructure.
Currently, Web3 wallets face three major challenges: user experience, security, and scalability. First, new technologies introduce new concepts and behavior patterns affecting user experience. Second, since blockchains handle valuable assets, the protocol and application layers require different security measures. Lastly, the performance and cost limitations of blockchains hinder their ability to cater to the needs of billions of users, leading to scalability issues. These challenges create a complex and interrelated relationship often referred to as the "Wallet Trilemma". imToken CEO Ben gave a keynote speech, "The Time is Ripe to Solve the Wallet Trilemma", and discussed how to balance user experience, security, and scalability in the decentralized world at the conference.
In addition, Chuck, the vice president of imToken & general manager of RIVO, and Kai, the chief architect of imToken, made their voices heard at the conference. They discussed "Web3 Payments: Entering a New Era of User and Merchant Currency Management and Transactions" and "Expanding the Next Generation of Wallets: How Encrypted Payments Lead the Future."

ETHGlobal Tokyo Hackathon
From April 14th to 16th, Tokyo, Japan, buzzed with activity as the ETHGlobal Tokyo hackathon brought together the Ethereum community.
Changwu, the chief scientist of imToken, and members of the imToken Labs presented YORU, a privacy protection DApp for encrypted social payment. A YORU transaction sends tokens to a one-time stealth address owned by the recipient; only the sender and recipient know of the existence of the transaction. At the same time, YORU supports public key registration through DID and ENS, and users can bind their wallets with their social media accounts, such as Gmail, Twitter, Line, etc., taking into account privacy transmission and convenient user experience.
The project was selected as a finalist for the hackathon event. Click here to learn more.
