THE TRADING FLOOR — KBW 2026

The Trading Floor is the launch reception for Blackboard, co-hosted with Aster, on the closing night of Korea Blockchain Week. What's going on? Blackboard is an onchain trading terminal. Perpetuals, predictions, trading cards, tokenized real-world-assets. Everything that settles onchain, reached from one account. Aster runs the book behind our crypto perpetuals, our integration partner and co-host tonight. The liquidity is already there. Onchain venues run real books with real depth. What they lack is reach: everyone outside the small group already comfortable opening a DEX, funding a chain-specific deposit, and reading a funding rate before their first trade stays out. That gap is the business. Blackboard is the front door, an onchain brokerage that takes venue liquidity and puts it in front of everyone else. Sign in, fund the account, take a position. Your assets never leave your wallet. The same account carries you from a first trade to a full book, and it stays open to the agents you run. Our sponsor Nado runs an orderbook DEX on Ink by Kraken, featuring full portfolio margining for spot and perps trading. Different venues, one premise. The direction we are taking this: any exchange, any trader, one floor. The night Doors at 17:00, close at midnight. A keynote and panel block, an open floor with live product demos, and performances through the night. Sessions A keynote followed by panels, starting 18:30, with AI-translated captions on the main screen. We add each keynote and panel to this page one by one as it is confirmed.
