Hiraya Network Launches with BLOKC, Aptos Labs & DOST-ASTI

Hiraya Network Makes Its Official Debut

The BLOKC marked a significant milestone on March 27, 2025, as it joined key figures from the technology and blockchain ecosystem for the official launch of Hiraya Network.

The event brought together notable personalities from both the public and private sectors, signaling a strong collaborative foundation for the newly launched network. Among those present were Thomas, Head of Marketing for APAC/MENA at Aptos Labs; Emerson Fonseca, Co-Founder of The BLOKC; and Ms. Roxanne S. Aviñante, Senior Science Research Specialist at the Department of Science and Technology – Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI).

The presence of Aptos Labs underscores the network's connection to cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure, while DOST-ASTI's involvement highlights the initiative's alignment with the Philippine government's push for science, technology, and innovation. The BLOKC's participation further cements its role as a key driver of Web3 education and ecosystem development in the country.

Hiraya Network's launch represents a promising step forward for the local and regional blockchain community, bringing together industry leaders, government stakeholders, and Web3 advocates under a shared vision — much like the Filipino word hiraya, which means "the fruit of one's imagination and dreams."

The BLOKC continues to be at the forefront of building meaningful partnerships and initiatives that advance blockchain adoption and education across the Philippines and beyond. Stay tuned for more updates on Hiraya Network and its upcoming programs and developments.
