Flitto Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter 'Flitto Japan') will provide its AI simultaneous interpretation service 'Live Translation' at 'WebX2026,' Asia's largest global Web3 conference, to be held on July 13 (Mon) and 14 (Tue), 2026. This marks the second consecutive year of adoption at WebX, following its initial deployment in 2025, with expanded stage coverage—real-time multilingual interpretation will be delivered across all four stages over two days.
WebX2026: Asia's Largest Global Web3 Conference
Language Barriers in the Web3 Industry's International Conferences
'WebX' is Asia's largest Web3 conference, planned and operated by CoinPost Inc. Since its inaugural event in 2023, it has grown into a major gathering for diverse stakeholders, including industry leaders, companies, projects, investors, government officials, and media involved in blockchain and cryptocurrency.
The Web3 and blockchain sectors are rapidly expanding into a global industry involving international projects, investors, and government representatives. At international conferences, providing language support for both speakers and attendees has become a critical operational challenge. Traditional simultaneous interpretation booths entail high costs and space constraints, while high translation accuracy for domain-specific technical terminology is also required—posing a dual challenge that many organizers have struggled to overcome.
Evolving AI Simultaneous Interpretation: 'Live Translation'
At last year's 'WebX Asia 2025,' Flitto Japan's Live Translation was introduced for the first time, successfully enabling multilingual support at an event attended by approximately 20,000 people and over 3,000 companies. Building on this success, Live Translation has been re-adopted for 'WebX2026.' In its second year, the number of supported stages has increased, and in addition to the existing QR code-based display, real-time translated subtitles will now also be shown on LED screens.
The speaker's speech is converted into Japanese in real time and displayed on the monitor on the left side of the screen.
The service will support sessions featuring high-profile speakers, including video messages and appearances by senior Japanese government officials, Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap Labs, renowned strategist Tom Lee, and top executives from global firms such as BlackRock Japan, Mizuho Financial Group, and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Flitto Japan is also officially listed as a 'PARTNER' on the WebX official website's sponsor page.
