Scaling Summit Addresses User Retention and RWA Adoption Challenges
Scaling Summit Addresses User Retention and RWA Adoption Challenges
🔍 What builders actually discussed
The Scaling Summit brought together founders and builders to address critical industry challenges:
- User retention in an attention-scarce market
- Product differentiation in a crowded builder landscape
- Compliance frameworks that balance regulation with innovation momentum
- RWA and stablecoin adoption beyond builder narratives toward mainstream use
The event focused on practical solutions rather than theoretical discussions, with participants examining how to move from concept to global implementation.
The Scaling Summit tackled the questions that matter. → How do you retain users in a market that bleeds attention? → How do you differentiate when everyone's building the same thing? → How do you build compliance frameworks that don't kill momentum? → How do you take RWAs
