WALLX Philanthropy Gala Lights Up Kuala Lumpur, Halving Countdown Draws Industry Attention

Amid the accelerating evolution of the blockchain and Web3 industry, WALLX once again stepped into the spotlight. Following its Phase One achievements that drew global attention, WALLX showcased its unique mission of “Accompanying Is Value” at a philanthropy gala held in Kuala Lumpur on August 18, and announced that its Phase Two plan will officially launch on August 20, marking the project’s first mining reward halving.

Technology × Philanthropy: A Cross-Disciplinary Fusion

Unlike traditional industry conferences, the Kuala Lumpur event was a cross‑disciplinary gala that combined blockchain technology, social responsibility, and philanthropic action. The venue shone with star power as builders from the Web3 space, capital representatives, NGOs, and social figures gathered to witness WALLX’s latest practice in integrating philanthropy with technology.

During the “Bodhi Home Charity Journey” segment, and under the attention of all attendees, WALLX officially announced comprehensive sponsorship for local orphanages and elderly care homes. This decision was not made lightly; it followed careful deliberation and on‑site research. Funds will be deployed with precision to improve infrastructure and living conditions. For children, this includes diverse educational supplies and engaging toys to help them learn and grow with joy; for the elderly, it means comfortable living environments with advanced medical equipment and convenient facilities for a safer, more reassuring life.

However, WALLX’s care goes far beyond material support. Understanding that emotional companionship is the most precious gift, the team pledged to organize regular volunteer visits to the orphanages and elderly care homes. Activities will include games, drawing, and storytelling with the children to spark creativity and imagination, as well as conversations, walks, and chess with the elderly to ease loneliness—so they can feel society’s warmth and care.

WALLX also announced a long‑term support plan for local orphanages and elderly care homes, covering infrastructure upgrades, educational donations, and volunteer companionship. The initiative has received wide recognition and is regarded as a new paradigm for “blockchain empowering social value.”

Industry Leadership: A New Benchmark for Tech Philanthropy

WALLX’s philanthropic move has sent ripples across the blockchain sector, winning high praise and broad recognition from attendees. A veteran expert in the field commented: “In today’s fiercely competitive blockchain market, we see a lot of technical innovation and business gamesmanship, but very few projects that tightly integrate philanthropy with project development like WALLX does. Their actions set a benchmark, showing that blockchain can not only create significant economic value but also become a powerful tool for social progress and problem solving.”

From a market perspective, WALLX’s philanthropic efforts carry far‑reaching strategic significance. In brand building, proactive engagement in philanthropy demonstrates strong social responsibility and humanistic care, earning broad trust and goodwill and boosting brand awareness and reputation. In user acquisition and retention, more users are paying attention to values and social impact; WALLX’s philanthropic ethos attracts like‑minded users, strengthening identity and loyalty. In partnerships and growth, the initiative opens doors to collaboration with charities, enterprises, and government departments, laying a solid foundation for the project’s long‑term development.

Phase Two: Halving Mechanism and Global Philanthropy in Parallel

WALLX also announced that Phase Two will fully launch on August 20:

First mining reward halving: from 30,000 → 15,000 WALLX per device; a supply‑curve inflection point is approaching, further reinforcing the long‑term value logic.

108‑city philanthropy plan: WALLX will mobilize 108 philanthropy ambassadors across 108 cities to jointly launch the global campaign “You Deserve to Be Loved.”

AI translation earbuds released: breaking language barriers so that “I love you” becomes a universal expression across borders, allowing those who feel lonely to receive responses and warmth anywhere in the world.

Taken together, these steps signal that WALLX is not only advancing to a new stage in token economics design, but also proposing an unprecedented industry paradigm for  global social‑value implementation .

Industry Voices: From Value Capture to Value Resonance

Experts note that the upcoming halving is a major milestone for WALLX’s long‑term value. With supply contraction overlaid by a “100% burn mechanism,” token scarcity will be significantly amplified. At the same time, by deeply binding philanthropy and humanistic values to the project narrative, WALLX is carving out clear differentiation within the industry.

As one blockchain investor put it:

“WALLX is not merely chasing price curves; it is building a long‑cycle development path powered by companionship and value resonance. For the entire crypto industry, this is a highly inspiring exploration.”

Outlook: Accompanying Is Value, Technology for Good

Looking ahead, WALLX will continue to explore broader applications of “blockchain + philanthropy”:

Leveraging on‑chain transparency to improve the efficiency of charitable fund usage;

Building a global volunteer network centered on the community;

Establishing “accompaniment” as a long‑term ecological consensus and extending it into education, healthcare, environmental protection, and more fields.

While many projects continue to compete on price and hash‑power metrics, WALLX is opening a dual pathway that balances financial value and social value through distinctive storytelling and concrete action.

On this night in Kuala Lumpur, WALLX did more than announce a new plan—it sent a clear signal: the future of blockchain is not limited to finance and technology; it can also be warmth, accompaniment, and hope.
