Zhejiang University's blockchain entrepreneurs take the lead, Hangzhou is expected to build the world's first blockchain city

On October 24, 2019, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee conducted the eighteenth collective study on the current status and trends of the development of blockchain technology. Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Professor Chen Chun of Zhejiang University gave a report at the meeting and discussed their opinions and suggestions.

In July 2016, Li Wei, who has always been a entrepreneurial dream, founded Quchain Technology with several Zhejiang University doctors, and the team devoted himself to the research and development and industry implementation of domestic independent controllable alliance chain platforms.

Three months before the establishment of FunChain, it was also Huang Butian from Zhejiang University. The blockchain company Yunxiang just founded had just received an angel round of financing of 3 million yuan.

These Zhejiang University-based blockchain entrepreneurs and practitioners have laid a solid foundation for the development of the Hangzhou blockchain industry. Huang Butian believes that most of the top blockchain companies in the country are now concentrated in Hangzhou. Whether it is a startup atmosphere, capital environment or industry chain support, Hangzhou has provided fertile soil for the blockchain industry's entrepreneurial innovation. It is expected to create a "global Blockchain First City. "
