In the last article, we teased that VESA will be in Switzerland and how the country is making leaps and bounds in the eyes of the international crypto community, but today we will give you all the information on what the Swiss Web3 Fest was about and who the people are. in the ecosystem behind it.
In general, to explain why the following is important, it is good to mention something. VESA has been working with a lot of people, from large to small businesses and more, and what is quite frightening is the proportion of competent people, even in large organisations, who have everything under control. It’s strange.
Let’s go for it.crypto Oasis founders (from left) Saqr, Ralf and Faisal with us at the Art In Space gallery in Dubai earlier.
From crypto Oasis to crypto Valley and vice versa
If you have been connected with the crypto scene in Dubai, you must have heard about crypto Oasis. Spearhead Pack is the fastest growing crypto ecosystem in the world, but not everyone knows about its strong presence and co-founding origins in Switzerland.
grace under pressure
All equipment crypto Valley and Oasis were like a duck to water when D-Day finally arrived. The kind of pressure that comes with hosting a big conference didn’t seem to faze them. It is not an act when the curtain opens.
Quite the opposite. The day before the festival started, the meeting room was still filled with laughter and the team was constantly on the lookout for opportunities to connect and support others who were already arriving early. VESA has seen more than 400 events and in many of them, behind closed doors, there are no laughs at the time, that’s for sure.
While we are more familiar with crypto Oasis, Ralph and Saqr especially, on the Dubai end, the local advantage that CV Labs and crypto Valley had in Switzerland was tangible. It is clear that this network that spans both countries and more is legitimate and expanding rapidly. Valley or desert, some know how to generate.
What bear market?
The Swiss Web3 Fest began and the feeling had the same kind of buzz as in Miami during the height of the bull market in January 2018 at the North American bitcoin Conference. Many attendees had a personal connection to one or more of the Fest’s founders, and since it’s not just about cryptocurrencies, the peaks and valleys of its cycles don’t touch you as much. It’s one thing to continue to be in this space through the rough seas of the bear market, but quite another to host power conferences during it.

The Swiss Alps lent their majesty as a backdrop to the event as attendees arrived by plane and were greeted by the opulence and wealth of the country. First-time visitors quickly learned about the cost of living in the country: buying a bottle of water at the airport cost a handsome 7.30 euros.
nft ART DAY IN ZUG
It’s great to be in touch again and again with the art world in general, since the crypto art and nft bubbles. The legacy art is still so far behind in understanding why well-done digital certificates are important, it’s scary. In general, in today’s culture we feel the touch of history, as we delete and censor things all the time. Culture and tastes change, and we now see the elimination of conversations, ideas and people all the time. It has always been like this. Statues are being broken and some are still angry that the Library of Alexandria was burned. We can never take knowledge of history for granted. Something verified on the blockchain, now on the verge of ai mixing things up even more and unrecognizably, decentralized blockchain matters more than ever.
It was great, as always, to see, hang out and party with the powerful Brittany Kaiser and my trusted gallerist Tomas Cermak of Cermak Eisenkraft Gallery.
DFINITY and Internet Computer
Sponsoring and co-hosting the Fest were DFINITY and their innovative project. Computer Internetwho were very visible throughout the festival. Lomesh Dutta He gave a couple of keynote speeches about the mission and vision of the project and partied with us listening to Ibiza music at the end of the Unconference. He DFINITY The Foundation’s mission is to build, promote and maintain Internet Computer, the world’s first Internet-scale, web-speed public blockchain. It enables smart contracts to securely deliver interactive web content directly to end users’ browsers, enabling the creation of dapps, DeFi, open internet services, and enterprise systems that can operate at hyperscale. It helps credibility that they have an entire building to themselves.
The data-Cleopatra
This title will make sense a little later. VESA and Brittany will travel to Cairo later this year.
One of the most magical aspects of in-person events is that they bring together partners with whom you have an open portfolio. Brittany Kaiser, who visited Finland in November 2021 to photograph an nft project with VESA about data ownership and her entire life story, was present at the Fest.
A major theme of the entire Fest was environmental awareness and green initiatives.
The outstanding initiative of the founders of the festival was the green block. The Green Block is an initiative by crypto Oasis Ventures to create an ecosystem for Blockchain projects and platforms related to the environment, social and governance (ESG). This is crypto Oasis Ventures’ first global initiative in commitment to the UAE’s COP28 initiative. Unlike many other green initiative groups, this one isn’t afraid to have a battle of ideas within the group, whether it’s from fearmongering to greenwashing – everything was on the table to find out what’s real about it.
The Green Block will be an ecosystem that aims to foster a sustainable future by bringing together stakeholders to develop and implement solutions for corporate governance, environmental sustainability and social responsibility. The Green Block focuses on promoting, leading and connecting the industry to align with the UAE’s goals for COP28 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the world.
Conversations and connections evolved throughout the Fest, and by the end of the conference, something beyond enormous was already brewing.
The first phone calls about this new development are being made as we speak, more on that soon.
Brittany had also embarked on another adventure. She told VESA that she is in the process of tokenizing high-value real estate assets, namely heritage castles in France, and that she also has her eyes set on other parts of the world.
The 2017 piece Fork & Flip appeared in the back of the main ballroom at Unconference. Faisal killed him as a moderator when Brittany was talking about green mining, the new castle project, etc.
Not much can be made public yet about the castle project, but you can check it out at [email protected].
It was also good to reconnect with Matti Liukas, his lovely wife Brynne Kennedy and his partner Antonio Beja to catch up. As with all gatherings, there are late nights, possibly cigarettes, and an angry kitchen staff bringing 5 times the amount of food requested. I guess they didn’t want to be dragged back to the kitchen by a bunch of partiers All handled with laughter and good humor.
BR8VE and fork and flip
Two VESA pieces that have an impressive pedigree are the commission piece for an anonymous crypto OG. THE BR8VE and an early cryptographic art called Fork and flip.
The works were displayed at the Fest as large pieces of fabric. Thematically, both works are right at the core of crypto art, the predecessor to NFTs, and tell the story of the decentralized movement. It’s pretty exciting to say that the BR8VE could be the Guernica of crypto, but I challenge anyone to look at the essence and at least have to consider it.
The Swiss Web3 Fest coincided with the launch of new VESA NFTs on Tokengate, an nft platform associated with the crypto Oasis and Arte community.
The sophisticated and highly curated platform immediately felt like the home for the new Mirror series, which explores symmetrical and transcendental forms in movement and color.
Whatever your art form, when the attitude is to get things done, you hang from the ceiling and help others contribute. We always go beyond expectations and don’t give up when things don’t seem optimal.
The large piece of fabric is now available through the website and ships almost anywhere within 10 days.
It was also a pleasure to meet this Saudi gentleman. Zeyad Alkhelaifi, an aeronautical engineer at CAMO, who was our guest at his first conference on cryptography. The Fork & Flip piece can be found here.

Swiss nft Association
Swiss nft Association: get together! Another piece of the army being formed in Switzerland is the SNA (Swiss nft Association), which held its own as part of the entire Swiss Web3 Fest. It was called Unconference and was organized by Swiss nft Lakeside to conclude an action-packed week of keynotes, connections, panels and workshops. The whole experience was like a simple glimpse into the potential of the Swiss nft ecosystem and culture. It was great to get to know Victor and Josephine a little and start discussing more Swiss contributions.

As Arnold Schwarzenegger says in his Netflix documentary series, no one makes themselves. This required an all-star team. It was great connecting with Luca making sure we all got to where we needed to be, Saed connecting us with new people like Kareem from Mercantura Forum, Manal, Fabio and Mic as a new acquaintance. Tom from Tokengate was with me on the roof attaching the great BR8VE artwork at the last minute. Pascal was always there to lend a hand or give an idea and as always it was good to reconnect with Dennis. VESA couldn’t connect to all of them, but many are not mentioned.
Then yes.
It was a vortex.
Thank you all and see you soon in Dubai, habibis.
A lot for
