At the forefront of the Web 3 industry are wallets which are building the infrastructure to enable transactions that power the concept of trading our beloved assets!

Whilst at Paris Blockchain Week, we caught up with Bitget Wallet COO, Alvin Kan, who has experience from not just the leading Web 3 companies, but also Web 2 experience. We discussed building in Web 3, running a product aiming to onboard the next 100m users, memes & much more!

Of course, we had to provide our readers with all the access to our conversation as this much alpha COULDN’T be gatekeeped👇

Point System Narrative > Tokens:

• Transparent point system with a token launch after six weeks (BWB Points Campaign)

• The idea is to view the points system like having credit card reward points. But the problem is how projects are using or abusing it. 

• It's so common today that you have projects dish out airdrop campaigns based on the point system

• Point holders included in airdrop campaigns

Meme Coins and $MOEW:

• Launch of a meme coin (MOEW) for community engagement

• $MOEW serves as a community-driven initiative and an experiment.

• Acknowledgement of the fun aspect of meme coins.

• Launch of a meme coin (MOEW) for community engagement.

• Goal with MOEW is for it to serve as a community-driven initiative. Essentially, it is an experiment for us to also understand what's going on in the memecoin sector, and also a way to give back in a fun way to our coin holders.

• Cultural shift post-COVID, with people seeking fun and community.

• Example of $MOEW token representing empathy for meme coin losses.

Future Plans For Bitget Wallet:

• Different L1s, L2s, and mainnets are all coming up, and the ability to actually integrate all this in one wallet is super important.

• Currently, every user wants a wallet that's able to do everything. Users can get all these from the platform and also the ability to stake differently from the wallet.

• Development of omnichain inscriptions tool (GetScribe) for minting inscriptions.

• Plans for Real World Assets integration, token launch, staking, and potential future instruments
