ShardLab, the R&D innovation arm of global blockchain investment firm Hashed, announced a strategic partnership with Bitkub, Thailand’s largest digital asset exchange, to accelerate Web3 ecosystem growth across Thailand and the broader Southeast Asian region. 

The initial collaboration will see Bitkub joining as an official partner in ShardLab’s Web3 talent development and acceleration program Protocol Camp, as well as ShardLab’s sponsorship of the upcoming Bitkub Summit 2025.

Protocol Camp, co-hosted by Hashed and ShardLab, is a Web3 accelerator program designed to discover and nurture startups across East and Southeast Asia. Bitkub will contribute to the program through mentorship, ecosystem connections, and hands-on support for local market expansion.

As an official sponsor of Bitkub Summit 2025, taking place in Bangkok later this year, ShardLab will showcase its stablecoin-based payment system, present global Web3 strategies, and share outcomes from recent partnerships. Bitkub Summit is Thailand’s premier Web3 and digital asset industry event, bringing together leading stakeholders from across the region. ShardLab’s participation will strengthen its local presence and open new avenues for collaboration.

“ShardLab is a central hub in Hashed’s global expansion strategy, with a clear mission to build a real Web3 ecosystem in Thailand and Southeast Asia,” stated Simon Seojoon Kim, CEO of Hashed. “Our partnership with Bitkub is the first step toward that vision. By combining our networks and capabilities, we believe we can play a critical role in launching innovative Web3 companies across the region.”
