Why Blockchain?
•
Since the advent of the smartphone, an innovation that reshaped human life, much of our world has been digitized at an accelerating pace.
•
Technologies and platforms such as AI, Blockchain, and XR are converging across borders, cultures, and languages through digital channels.
•
Blockchain, as a protocol for value exchange, has the potential to become the lubricant for this interconnected digital world. Just as the internet standardized the transfer of information, blockchain provides the foundation for secure, trustless, and decentralized value transfer in this new global paradigm.
Why Localhost:web3?

During a visit to San Francisco, I encountered the House of Web3. Travel often has a way of making even familiar ideas feel new, and I found myself imagining what it would mean to have such a space in Korea—one where people from diverse backgrounds could come together freely to mingle, exchange ideas, and create. On the flight home, I thought of some of the most altruistic and people-loving friends I know, and when I shared the idea, they all immediately agreed and we are here.

Ironically, in a world that is becoming increasingly digitized, physical human connection retains a unique meaning. No matter how advanced digital transformation becomes, face-to-face encounters will only grow more special. Relationships themselves are rarely inherently extraordinary; it is the environment that can make them feel profound. Just as the early days of pagers and internet chats felt extraordinary because of the medium, in today’s hyper-digitalized world, the most remarkable encounters will again be the offline ones. Blocks connect to one another across nodes through internet protocols, but true human connection crystallizes in the physical space where people meet. I hope we meet there :)
