On Wednesday, January 22nd, DRMZ Web3 was proud to co-sponsor and participate in the “Cardano, Apechain, and Sui Network in 2025” Cross-Chain Chinese New Year Crypto Event, hosted at Edge Wallet HQ in San Diego. Though we joined the lineup a bit later and weren’t featured on the original Luma listing, our team’s involvement was essential to rounding out the conversation and representing Cardano in a packed event that emphasized cross-chain collaboration and cultural celebration.
The event brought together leaders from some of the most exciting corners of the crypto world. Rodrigo (co-founder of DRMZ Web3 & the DRMZ Cardano Stake Pool) joined BaronVonHustle (Social & Community Lead at Bored Ape Yacht Club) and Alejandra Corbella (Community Events at Sui Network) for a lively and engaging panel moderated by Valerie and the SDNFT Friends crew. The room buzzed with excitement as more than 80 attendees filled the venue, while many more tuned in online through the live stream, showing how web3 events can blend physical presence with global participation.
As Cardano representatives, we were honored to speak directly to an audience largely unfamiliar with the ecosystem. We introduced the philosophy and roadmap of Cardano, its approach to governance and staking, and the strength of its growing application layer. We emphasized what sets Cardano apart in an increasingly complex blockchain space: peer-reviewed innovation, sustainable development, and long-term vision.
Conversations between communities were encouraged throughout the night. Attendees asked important questions about scalability, funding, governance, and real-world adoption. Rodrigo, on behalf of DRMZ, was able to draw on examples from our educational outreach, Catalyst participation, and event programming—especially our focus on using Cardano in educational and social settings—to demonstrate Cardano’s strength in real-world utility.
As co-sponsors, we also helped bring out members of the local Cardano community who engaged new attendees, sparked wallet downloads, and continued important conversations around web3 interoperability and values-driven ecosystems. It was a fun, vibrant evening that reminded us just how important these cross-chain events are in breaking down silos, growing communities, and expanding the shared web3 vision.
This panel not only kicked off the Lunar New Year celebration with style—it set the tone for 2025 and beyond. DRMZ is proud to be a bridge between ecosystems, and this event was a beautiful reminder that while chains may differ, the mission to build a more open, fair, and connected future is one we all share.
