Chain Connect: BLOKC Brings Web3 to NU Manila

The BLOKC is set to make waves at Chain Connect (NU Manila Exclusive), a collaborative blockchain education event organized together with the Junior Blockchain Education Consortium of the Philippines - NU Philippines, Selyo, and Core DAO Philippines.

This exciting gathering brings together some of the most compelling voices in the Philippine Web3 space, delivering a packed lineup of talks and hands-on learning experiences designed for students and young blockchain enthusiasts.

What to Expect

Engr. Mark Hugh Neri kicks things off with a forward-looking session on the biggest blockchain trends of 2025, covering AI, Zero-Knowledge proofs, RaaS, Gigagas, AltVM, and upcoming Alpha Events from The BLOKC.

Ray Tristan follows with a Blockchain 101 primer, alongside an introduction to Selyo: The Future of On-Chain Reputation — giving attendees a foundational understanding of blockchain technology and a glimpse into how reputation systems are evolving on-chain.

Chris Flores then delivers an Introduction to CORE, walking participants through the Core DAO ecosystem and what it offers to builders and developers in the region.

Ry Ozaki rounds out the speaker sessions by exploring Opportunities in Web3 — shedding light on pathways available for students and professionals looking to break into the decentralized economy.

The event also features a practical workshop segment led by JP Pabelico and Jerome Monte, where participants will get hands-on experience creating NFTs with Movement and deploying their own tokens on Core — a rare opportunity to go beyond theory and actually build on-chain.

A Growing Ecosystem

Chain Connect reflects The BLOKC's continued commitment to grassroots Web3 education across Philippine universities. By partnering with student organizations and ecosystem projects like Selyo and Core DAO Philippines, The BLOKC is helping a new generation of Filipino builders take their first confident steps into the blockchain space.
