The hardest part was overcoming the feeling of awkwardness. During the first day I felt like an imposter a little bit, you don\u2019t start a bunch of conversations with people you never met every day (at least I don\u2019t <\/span>\ud83e\udee3<span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" data-token-index=\"2\">).

I spoke to founders and CEOs of companies, but would never be able to tell what\u2019s their position if they didn\u2019t tell me. The amount of explorers that don\u2019t work inside crypto industry was surprising. Some people were just learning, others looking for a job. It shows how fast paced the industry actually is. Because newcomers can get actually get into the industry or find a job this way. I wouldn\u2019t call anything disappointing, things don\u2019t always turn out perfectly and that\u2019s normal \u2014 like pouring rain during an outdoors event of Metamask lol \u2014 you can\u2019t predict every single thing that will happen. <\/span><!-- notionvc: 6f7eff8e-4785-4e94-ad3a-9bd2e7f1aaaa --><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Q:<\/b> <b>How many new contacts did you make?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" data-token-index=\"0\">I got around 50 contacts only on Telegram in the organized folder. It\u2019s insane to realize that I had to actually speak with each person before taking their contact \u2014 the amount of interactions in such a short period of time showed me how our industry actually works. <\/span><!-- notionvc: 4ea5e1ea-1d74-4014-9706-a990437339d1 --><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Q:<\/b> <b>Feedback on Guardarian?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">P<span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" data-token-index=\"1\">eople were impressed by the flexibility and variety in our offerings. My favourite part was hearing that the person might not need our services but knows someone who does. Buy\/Sell solutions for user onboarding will stay relevant for a while, no matter how sad this might be for crypto native audience who doesn\u2019t want to accept the connection we still have to traditional finance. <\/span><\/span><!-- notionvc: c4ad064c-bdae-4eea-9b4c-930bd4b75488 --><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Q:<\/b> <b>Regions with the strongest interest?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">MENA and APAC regions showed the most interest due to limited platforms offering local currency Buy\/Sell options. Established markets like Europe, the US, and LATAM already provide multiple access points.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Fun Moments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">1. Guardarian\u2019s sticker giveaway was a hit! Which stickers were the most popular among visitors?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" data-token-index=\"0\">It was different for the 2 days of the conference for some reason. The one people talked about during the first day was \u201cTime is money\u201d \u2014 incredibly relatable for a fast paced industry like ours. However, when I came back to our stand after some exploring, I saw that the G-OTC whales are gone every time. On the second day everyone was into the 24h crypto market meme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">2. Did you notice any memorable or funny reactions from people collecting them?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" data-token-index=\"0\">They\u2019re a bit different from a typical sticker so people often didn\u2019t understand what it was. Generally, we weren\u2019t the type to start conversations using our merch because it\u2019s not the best way to get a good quality interaction. This was rather an additional detail for people to remember us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notion-enable-hover\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" data-token-index=\"0\"><strong>3. How do you think these small interactive activities help build brand awareness and connection at such events?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">After events, merch often serves as a memorable reminder of a company, especially when it\u2019s useful \u2014 people naturally notice who created it. With so many interactions, extra cues can strengthen connections with potential leads and existing partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"333\" data-end=\"630\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">For example, on the first day I visited Oppi Wallet\u2019s booth, they gave me a bag of items, but the turbo fan stood out \u2014 I used it every day in Singapore\u2019s heat. Enjoying the item genuinely helped me feel a real connection with the Oppi team, not just networking politeness. Many thanks to Noyan!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Key Takeaways<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Guardarian continues to position itself as a flexible bridge between fiat and crypto.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Strong interest was observed from MENA and APAC markets.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Stickers and other interactive brand elements enhance recall and reinforce engagement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The event confirmed ongoing trends: crypto is moving into formal financial channels, with rising demand for stablecoins and RWA.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 1\u20132, 2025 | Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Guardarian participated in Token2049 Singapore, one of the leading conferences in crypto and Web3.
