NEWSROOM

At Input | Output (IO), we believe innovation knows no borders. Technology was meant to connect the world - and we see our role as bridging that last mile. That’s why we’re taking our commitment to community-driven development on the latest roadshow with the IO Asia Tour. 

Over the course of this journey, we’ll be traveling across South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and Japan - with stops at Korea Blockchain Week, Token2049, Tech for Impact, and community meetups along the way. Each stop is more than an event; it’s an opportunity to listen, collaborate, and create the future of blockchain together. 

Innovation is global. So are we. 

The futures of Cardano, Midnight, and our broader ecosystems won’t be written in isolation - they’ll be built by the people who bring them to life. From long-standing community members who have carried our mission forward, to new developers eager to experiment with gaming, privacy, and scaling solutions, this tour is about engaging face-to-face with those who inspire us most.

What can attendees expect? A chance to connect with the IO team and explore pathways to build and innovate within our ecosystem, and beyond. For developers, it’s a hands-on invitation to dive into new technologies like Quantum Hosky and Midnight, and to help define what comes next for decentralized systems. For the Cardano community, it’s a celebration of progress with programs like Project Catalyst and to discuss the heart of what separates us from the rest - governance.

Innovation is not a destination, it’s a journey we want to take together. By bringing global ideas to local voices, we’re making sure the next chapter of blockchain is shaped by the builders, dreamers, and doers across Asia and beyond.
