The programme at a glance
The Vietnamese Frontier — legalisation, adoption and Da Nang’s policies
The panel connects jurisdiction design, VIFC-DN sandbox scope, AML/KYC and investor protection with the practical conditions founders need to enter, test and scale.
Future of Money — payments and stablecoin rails
Issuers, protocols and access-layer operators examine 24/7 settlement, on/off ramps, self-custody, enterprise treasury adoption and Vietnam-specific payment flows.
Asset Tokenisation & RWA Infrastructure
Infrastructure builders examine legal wrappers, custody, oracles, liquidity and the asset categories—from treasuries to credentials and IP—that could fit Da Nang’s financial-centre thesis.
Can stablecoins flip SWIFT in SEA B2B settlement by 2030?
A Bull-versus-Bear format tests cost, speed, compliance, liquidity and enterprise inertia, with audience polling measuring which side moved the room.
Does RWA yield displace DeFi-native yield by 2030?
The debate contrasts the durability and risk of tokenised real-world cash flows with crypto-native yield under changing interest-rate and liquidity cycles.
Can AI defenders outpace AI attackers in Web3 through 2028?
Builders assess AI-assisted audits and monitoring against automated exploit discovery, social engineering and the persistent asymmetry between attackers and defenders.
Blockchain × AI product showcase
Eight teams present onchain finance, consumer applications for emerging markets and AI-native infrastructure directly to investors and ecosystem operators.

Arpit KumarFounderAN ECOSYSTEM PERSPECTIVE
W3BS demonstrates a credible pathway for Da Nang to become more than an event destination: a year-round builder base where policy access, technical communities, startup support and capital reinforce one another. The strategic test is whether the network converts into sandbox applicants, pilots, funded teams and companies anchored in the city.
SWISS EP
Swiss EP was listed as an official W3BS 2026 partner, while Program Manager Chuong Nguyen joined the policy panel. Its ecosystem contribution connects founder support, international expertise and the builder-to-company pathway with Da Nang’s institutions and sandbox ambitions.
