Using Web3 as a tool to make a positive difference in the industry has been a topic that’s widely discussed. While most people argue that blockchain is in its infancy, there are niche communities out there that have found ways to promote blockchain and Web3 technology in an impactful manner.
A prominent individual who is already doing this is our very own Club Salad Access NFT holder, Chun Hui Suen.
Chun Hui is the founder of the popular blockchain game Beanterra and an adjunct lecturer teaching blockchain and Web3 courses at top universities in the country like the National University of Singapore. His game project, Beanterra aims to raise awareness of environmental sustainability.
Sustainability Through Blockchain
As the chairman of Kindred Community, a group of individuals working together to make a positive impact, Chun Hui knows the importance of sustainability and has made it his goal to spread the message. As such, he founded Beanterra, a turn-based tactics NFT game project that rewards players for performing environmentally friendly actions.
While the majority of the Web3 industry sees Beanterra as an extremely popular blockchain game making waves in the play-to-earn economy, Chun Hui sees this as more of an outlet to raise awareness around the importance of sustainability the environment protection.
“Environmental sustainability is something that I’ve been passionate about and Beanterra is my way of spreading this message via a relatively mainstream channel like blockchain and play-to-earn gaming.”
Nurturing the Next Generation
Chun Hui is also currently training the next generation on the potential uses of blockchain technology. As an Adjunct Lecturer, he educates students on blockchain applications in FinTech and is passionate about helping his students understand the benefits of the technology.
Whether his students are familiar with the existing technologies or if they are entirely unaware, Chun Hui still gives his best in each and every lesson to educate on blockchain for industrial purposes and for good.
“It’s great that I’m able to have full control over the lesson plan whenever I educate on blockchain. I’m always heartened to go through this journey with my students whether they’re adult learners who want to make a career switch or students who are already proficient in the use cases for this technology.”
Partnerships that Provide Value
Chun Hui’s project, Beanterra, collaborated with Salad Ventures, and by extension Club Salad, on multiple occasions. He was one of our honored partners during GameFi Asia, Asia’s first play-to-earn and NFT convention. As one of the event sponsors, he was also invited to pitch Beanterra to an audience of venture capitals and investors at GFA’s industry networking night
Club Salad aims to provide mutual benefits for all of our partners and Chun Hui is just one of the many community members that have gained value since joining our community as a Club Salad Access Pass Holder.
“Salad Ventures is definitely a key player in the industry and I wanted a platform and a channel to spread the word about Beanterra. I think that was the catalyst to partner with Salad Ventures and now looking back, it was obviously a no brainer.”
What’s Next?
In the previous edition of Salad Spotlight our featured guest, James Croyle, was curious about the next challenge of blockchain that could not be solved in the next five years.
When asked, Chun Hui stated that the main difficulty for the industry would be acceptance, especially by governmental organizations. The Web3 scene is currently focused on capital appreciation via tokens, but as the technology evolves and useful applications of blockchain become more prevalent, people will be more receptive to it.
And, for the next Salad Spotlight guest, Chun Hui wants to find out:
“How can blockchain play a part in onboarding the next one million Web3 talents?”
