Community
A community first, an agency second.
9up.io grew out of Hong Kong’s crypto community — regular meetups, university seminars, founder talks and hackathons across Asia, before and alongside the client work.
What the community work looks like
Regular meetups
2,000+ cumulative participants, discussing the newest trends with guest speakers.
University seminars
Seminar series in collaboration with local universities — CityU and HKU.
Founder talks
Co-hosted talks with Polkadot founder Gavin Wood and Lisk CEO Max Kordek.
Hackathons
HackOnLisk, and co-organising the ZK BuidlArk hackathon in Taipei, 2023.
Conferences
HK FinTech Week 2018/2019/2021, HK Blockchain Week 2020, Singapore Blockchain Week 2020, Singapore FinTech Festival and TEAMZ.
