On Thursday, March 28th, Mars Finance hosted their blockchain contributors meeting in Chongqing, China. In attendance were around 150 blockchain projects and over 1000 industry professionals.

Notable attendees included Tencent (WeChat) Blockchain general manager Chen Weige, who discussed Tencent’s approach to blockchain. The majority of the topics were focused on how blockchain applications could bring value to both companies and users, a theme that is central to China’s stance on the technology. Also discussed was JP Morgan and Facebook’s entry to the blockchain industry, and how that would help accelerate adoption.
