From April 20th to April 23rd, MEET48, as the diamond sponsor of Asia's premier crypto event - the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, showcased its cutting-edge AI+Web3 entertainment ecosystem. This ecosystem, the world's first idol fan economy ecosystem built on Web3 and deeply integrating AI and UGC, not only delivered a strategic keynote speech at the main venue but also co-hosted the Side Event "RWA Entertainment Night," becoming one of the key highlights of the entertainment sector at this year's conference.
During the exhibition, the MEET48 booth remained open, attracting numerous industry participants and users to interact and exchange ideas.
Main Venue Speech: AI and Crypto Reshaping the Underlying Logic of the Entertainment Industry
On the morning of April 21, Kai Xu, COO of MEET48, delivered a keynote speech at the main venue, systematically elaborating on the structural changes that the entertainment industry is undergoing in the context of the integration of AI and Web3.
The speech pointed out that over the past year, MEET48 started with real idols and used AI technology to create AI Agents with continuous learning capabilities. This allowed idols to evolve from single stage roles into "digital identities" that can interact with fans in real time across time and space, thus breaking through physical limitations and becoming sustainably operated virtual IPs. Building on this foundation, MEET48 further introduced on-chain mechanisms to construct a Web3 idol competition system, transforming fans from passive supporters into on-chain participants who can directly influence the idol's growth path and drive the fan economy towards a "participation-as-governance" model.
With the continuous deepening of AI technology, MEET48 has proposed a development direction from "digital extension of real-life idols" to "AI-native virtual idols." AI idols are no longer just virtual images, but rather content generation and interaction systems with continuous evolution capabilities and scalable interactivity, marking the entertainment industry's entry into a new AI-Native stage. Simultaneously, MEET48 proposes the core paradigm of "AIUGC (AI User Generated Content)," driving content production from centralized to nationwide co-creation, making fans not only content consumers but also co-builders of narratives.
To support this system, MEET48 is building the underlying infrastructure POCHAIN, which focuses on solving the high-frequency interaction and collaboration needs of creators, fully supports the access, collaboration and expansion of Agents, realizes the automation of content production and value distribution, and supports the on-chaining of content assets, providing a core foundation for a large-scale AI entertainment ecosystem.
MEET48's exploration suggests that future entertainment will no longer be passive consumption, but a collaborative system built by AI, creators, and the community.
Side Event Highlights: "RWA Entertainment Night" – Exploring New Opportunities for Asset Management
Outside the main venue, on the evening of April 20th, MEET48, in conjunction with Hash Global and Nine Lives Commune, hosted a side event – “Entertainment RWA Night”, bringing together multiple projects including POCHAIN, OLAXBT, TATTO, IPDEX, and Renaiss to discuss the new trend of integrating entertainment assets onto the blockchain with RWA. The atmosphere of exchange was lively, making it one of the important exchange venues in the RWA field during the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival.
