BlockchainWork at Web3 Business UpToDate hosted by JBA – Highlights of event

On 13/03/2025, BlockchainWork had the honor of participating in the Web3 Business UpToDate event, hosted by the Japan Blockchain Association (JBA). This event brought together industry leaders to share cutting-edge solutions and opportunities for collaboration in the blockchain space.

As the first overseas company invited to speak at the series, BlockchainWork is proud to represent Vietnam’s growing role in the global Web3 landscape. Below is a quick recap of the key highlights from the three presentations at the event.

 GCC Inc. – Fighting fraud in the construction machinery industry with blockchain

Mr. Nakamori from GCC Inc. introduced “Smart Terrace,” a blockchain-based system designed to prevent fraud in the construction machinery sector – an industry where each asset can be worth millions of dollars.

Key takeaways:

• Japan sees over ¥1 billion in fraud damages per day, including scams in heavy equipment trades.

• Ownership of construction machines is still managed via paper certificates, making fraud and theft common.

• Smart Terrace uses blockchain + NFT + AI to digitize proof of ownership, enable real-time verification, and prevent illegal sales and exports.

• The system is already being integrated with multiple stakeholders, including manufacturers, government agencies, and law enforcement.

TECHFUND – Why security audits are crucial for web3 projects

Mr. Ida from TECHFUND emphasized the increasing risks and sophistication of cyberattacks targeting Web3 companies.

Key takeaways:

• Web3 projects manage valuable user assets—security is non-negotiable.

• Even audited projects can be vulnerable if audit quality is low—51% of hacked projects had audits.

• TECHFUND recommends combining automated tools, manual audits, and bug bounties for maximum protection.

• They introduced a DevSecOps approach, embedding security throughout the development lifecycle.

• Their AI-powered audit tools and pay-as-you-find pricing model help projects scale securely and affordably.

 BlockchainWork – Vietnam: The Emerging Powerhouse of Blockchain Talent

Our CEO & Co-founder Tien Le presented BlockchainWork’s vision of connecting Vietnam’s fast-growing blockchain workforce with global opportunities—especially in collaboration with Japan.

Key points from our presentation:

• The global blockchain industry is facing a major talent shortage, while Vietnam has a deep, young, and fast-learning tech workforce.

• Vietnam is ranked #1 in global crypto adoption (2021-2022, Chainalysis) and is home to Web3 unicorns like Axie Infinity and Nighty Eight.

• BlockchainWork is Vietnam’s leading blockchain talent community, supported by all-in-one hiring platform for blockchain industry, a network of over 8,000 talents, 250+ businesses, key educational partners.

• We offer a bridge for international companies to access Vietnamese high-quality blockchain talents (tech and non-tech) to contribute to international projects.

Tien Le also highlighted clear synergy potentials between Japan and Vietnam in the blockchain ecosystem:

• Japan brings mature financial infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and capital.

• Vietnam brings technical talent, agility, and entrepreneurial energy.

• Together, they can co-develop the next generation of Web3 products, platforms, and ecosystems.
