From April 20 to April 23, as the diamond sponsor of Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, Asia’s top crypto event, the world’s first idol fan economy ecosystem MEET48, built on Web3 infrastructure and deeply integrated with AI and UGC, made a comprehensive debut with cutting-edge AI+Web3 entertainment ecology. Not only did it deliver a strategic keynote speech at the main venue, but it also co-hosted the Side Event “Entertainment RWA Night,” becoming one of the key highlights of the entertainment track at this year’s conference.

During the exhibition, MEET48’s booth remained open, attracting numerous industry participants and users for交流 and interaction.

Main Venue Speech: How AI and Crypto Are Reshaping the Underlying Logic of the Entertainment Industry

On the morning of April 21, MEET48 COO Kai Xu delivered a keynote speech at the main venue, systematically elaborating on the structural changes the entertainment industry is experiencing under the integration of AI and Web3.

The speech pointed out that over the past year, starting from real idols, MEET48 has used AI technology to create AI Agents with continuous learning capabilities, evolving idols from single-stage characters into “digital identities” capable of real-time interaction with fans across time and space, thus breaking physical limitations and becoming sustainable virtual IPs. Building on this, MEET48 further introduced on-chain mechanisms to establish a Web3 idol competition system, enabling fans to shift from passive supporters to on-chain participants who can directly influence idol development paths, promoting the evolution of fan economy toward a “participation equals governance” model.

As AI technology continues to deepen, MEET48 proposes a development direction from “digital extension of real idols” to “AI-native virtual idols.” AI idols are no longer just virtual images but are content generation and interaction systems with continuous evolution and scalable interaction capabilities, marking a new stage of AI-Native entertainment. Meanwhile, MEET48 introduces the core paradigm of “AIUGC (AI User Generated Content),” promoting content creation from centralized to全民共创, making fans not only consumers but also co-creators of narratives.

To support this system, MEET48 is building the underlying infrastructure POCHAIN, focusing on solving high-frequency interaction and collaboration needs of creators, fully supporting the integration, collaboration, and expansion of Agents, automating content production and value distribution, and enabling content assets to be on-chain, providing a core foundation for large-scale AI entertainment ecology.

Under MEET48’s exploration, future entertainment will no longer be passive consumption but a collaborative system built jointly by AI, creators, and communities.

Side Event Highlights: “Entertainment RWA Night” Exploring New Assetization Opportunities

Beyond the main venue, on the evening of April 20, MEET48 co-hosted the Side Event “Entertainment RWA Night” with Hash Global and Nine Lives Society, gathering projects like POCHAIN, OLAXBT, TATTO, IPDEX, and Renaiss to explore new trends in entertainment asset on-chain and RWA integration. The现场交流氛围热烈，成为香港 Web3 嘉年华期间 RWA 赛道的重要交流场景之一。
