Upbit Web3 Infrastructure Project GIWA to Join Consensus 2026 in Miami

Dunamu said May 4 that its Web3 infrastructure project GIWA will participate in Consensus 2026, a global blockchain conference in Miami.

Consensus brings together blockchain developers, investors and policy officials from around the world. This year's event will be held in Miami from May 5 to May 7.

Upbit's GIWA team will operate a standalone booth during the conference to introduce its Web3 infrastructure ecosystem to global developers and industry participants. It plans to showcase Web3 services designed to strengthen user accessibility and security through integration with Upbit, as part of its push to expand in global markets.

The company will unveil key technologies at the event, including the testnet for high-performance layer-2 network GIWA Chain, GIWA Wallet, on-chain verification system Dojang, privacy technology Bojagi and Web3 naming service UP.ID.

GIWA will also debut GASOK, a developer support program aimed at expanding the GIWA ecosystem. The program will select dApp projects built on GIWA and provide technical consulting and development support.

GIWA has also signed a strategic memorandum of understanding with Ethereum layer-2 project Optimism to pursue technical cooperation, including sequencer operations and backup infrastructure. The two sides also plan to discuss broader ecosystem expansion by sharing global partner networks and engineering resources.

"Consensus 2026 will serve as an opportunity to broaden our reach with global developers and build a Web3 ecosystem that anyone can use easily," Upbit Chief Operating Officer Jung Min-seok said.

Upbit also plans to expand its overseas network during the event through participation in CoinDesk Live and meetings with global institutional partners.
