On September 11th, the Schelling Point Conference, jointly organized by OKX Ventures, Gitcoin, BlockBooster, and CollegeDAO, officially opened in downtown Singapore.

Jeff Ren, partner at OKX Ventures, and Azeem Khan, Head of Influence at Gitcoin, delivered keynote speeches and engaged in discussions on the aforementioned topics.
OKX Ventures Partner Jeff Ren said: "There are many similarities between the digital financial products market and the carbon market, both of which are in the early stages and have abstract characteristics. DAO organizations must work with large companies by understanding how to interact, collaborate responsively, and deliver results that benefit the community. Our goal is to set an example and demonstrate the ability of DAO organizations to effectively collaborate with large entities."
Gitcoin Head of Influence Azeem Khan said: "Schelling Point is a very good bridge, and Web3 needs more organizations like this to help enhance the connection between the global Web3 community. This will be how we can truly unite. In addition, they have the funds and interest to address sustainability issues in the global blockchain, which will benefit the progress of the global Web3 industry."
BlockBooster co-founder Samuel said: "As a sustained supporter of OKX Ventures and Gitcoin, BlockBooster is excited about the success of Shelling Point. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with developers to create great things together."
