September was a breakthrough month for U2U Network, one that marked our transition from builders on the ground to a globally recognized Layer-1 trusted by top VCs and validated by billion-dollar tech giants.

Let’s dive into the highlights 👇

✅ Top Global VCs Now Validate U2U

This month, we proudly welcomed a new wave of global heavyweight validators into the U2U Network ecosystem:

→ Chain Capital (Singapore): One of Asia’s leading funds with 300+ projects. They were early backers of Solana, Polkadot, Celo, and Algorand, while also supporting DePIN leaders like Filecoin and Theta.

→ Crypto Assets Japan (Tokyo): A top-tier VC that led the $15M BITDAO (Mantle) private sale, with early investments in projects such as Xborg, Entangle, and Apex Protocol.

→ Alpha Sigma Capital (USA): A research-driven fund known for its strategic investments in Coinbase, Solana, Polygon, and Fetch.ai, with a reputation for hands-on support to Web3 founders.

→ Blockhive Capital (Hong Kong): A specialist in crypto liquidity and secondary market strategies, now bringing their expertise to strengthen U2U’s validator set.

Their presence means more than enhanced network security. It is validation that U2U stands shoulder-to-shoulder with projects they’ve previously backed, from Solana to Polygon, Filecoin, Mantle, and more.

✅ U2U x AWS Cloud Day

U2U became the first Vietnamese startup ever to keynote at AWS Cloud Day, the annual flagship event of one of the world’s biggest tech giants.

Sharing the stage with AWS and other global leaders in cloud, AI, and digital infrastructure wasn’t just a proud moment; it was proof of how far U2U has come in just 3 years.

AWS has not only recognized U2U but has chosen to collaborate with us. Together, we’re setting new standards for digital infrastructure and accelerating the adoption of decentralized technologies worldwide.

🔥 Highlight of the event:

Chloe Phung, Co-Founder & CEO of U2U Network, sat down with Jeff Johnson, ASEAN Managing Director of AWS, for an inspiring 1:1 conversation.

They explored U2U’s journey as a Made-in-Vietnam Layer-1, and its unique positioning to serve as the backbone for the next wave of GenAI-driven decentralized innovation.

✅ VietBUIDL Hackathon Kickoff

Vietnam’s most anticipated hackathon officially kicked off in September, and U2U Network took center stage.

The atmosphere was electric: a room full of developers, investors, and Web3 leaders buzzing with energy and ideas. The message was clear, this is the moment for Vietnamese builders to make their mark on the global stage.

Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Anh, CEO of SSIAM: “The role of SSI, SSID & U2U is to nurture & elevate – but the future belongs to YOU, Vietnam’s next blockchain pioneers.”

The kickoff underscored U2U’s mission to empower the next generation of innovators. By nurturing talent and fostering collaboration, we’re helping Vietnam’s builders move from local ambition to global impact.

A Glimpse into October

And what’s next? October holds something mysterious, powerful… and undeniably U2U.

Expect purple energy. Expect tentacles. Expect the unexpected. 🐙💜
