The first official forum on blockchain technologies was held in Astana Hub

On December 9, Astana Hub hosted the first blockchain technology forum Kazakhstan Blockchain Day. The event was organized at the initiative of the Kazakhstan Association of Blockchain Technologies (KABT) in partnership with Astana Hub, MOST Business Incubator and Paxaro.


The forum was attended by associations, government agencies, venture investors, experts, and startups in the field of blockchain technology. The platform brought together industry professionals and those who are just taking their first steps.

The opening speech was made by Vice Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan Askhat Elubaiuly Orazbek and Chairman of the Presidium of the Kazakhstan Association of Blockchain Technologies Islambek Tuleubayevich Salzhanov.

During the Forum, Sapar Akhmetov, Chairman of the Board of the Kazakhstan Association of Blockchain Technologies, emphasized the importance of blockchain technology: “We believe that projects based on blockchain technologies will change the future for the better and ensure transparency, fairness and equality for all citizens. Kazakhstan already occupies a leading position, which should not be missed. Therefore, we want to support domestic developers and give them the opportunity to improve their products and present it to the whole world."

According to October 2021 data, Kazakhstan ranks second in the world in bitcoin mining. There were about a dozen in Kazakhstan two years ago, and now there are about 50 mining farms, the largest of which are concentrated in the Northern and Western regions of the country.

“Blockchain technologies open up opportunities for new business models. Therefore, we actively encourage investors and entrepreneurs to turn their attention to this industry, create and invest in start-ups in this area. Astana Hub is ready to support such initiatives,” said Magzhan Madiyev, General Director of the Astana Hub International Technopark of IT Startups.

Eminent foreign speakers made a forecast for the further development of blockchain technologies, including: Ethereum Foundation adviser Vladislav Martynov, blockchain evangelist and lecturer at the Higher School of Economics of the Russian Federation Denis Smirnov and others.

“A very timely and necessary initiative is to bring together bright representatives of the emerging Blockchain history in Astana Hub under one roof. For our country, this is a great opportunity to start a good dialogue between government and business. Colleagues from KABT have already done a lot of work towards the development of mining and have made a great contribution to this direction. But I would like to say that in the world we can take a leading position both in the development and implementation of such technology as Blockchain. This event will feature the strongest speakers who will illuminate the future of the world and its new economy. And this future, believe me, is closer than you can imagine” - Andrey Kokov, co-founder of the platform for managing cryptocurrency assets Paxaro.com

The organizers selected 10 most promising startups from Kazakhstan that use blockchain technology in their project. The participants of the pitching sessions competed for cash checks for the development of their IT product in the amount of 1 million tenge (1st place), 500 thousand tenge (2nd place) and 250 thousand tenge (3rd place)

1 place. Idos gaming - esports crypto game;

2nd place. Game hotel - platform for mining in blockchain games;

3rd place. Diversifi is a technical platform for managing cryptocurrency assets.

“We are organizing this forum together with partners, as we have long seen the active growth of blockchain technologies in the world as a whole, as well as the high interest among Kazakhstanis in this market. As a venture fund manager, I can say that startups that use this technology can attract good investments with the right business model. We will be looking forward to the pitch session to listen to the guys,” added Alim Khamitov.

According to one of the forum organizers, General Director of the MOST business incubator and managing partner of MOST Ventures, Alim Khamitov, the Kazakhstan Blockchain Day platform has become an important link between the state and blockchain enthusiasts.

Regarding funds and crypto recovery, I found DECODE HACKER very helpful. I am Allen from Singapore and here is my story. In early 2022, I managed to build huge savings from 2020 from my remote working-from-home online business. When huge inflation was speculated early in 2022, I knew I had to jump into an investment opportunity to reap huge benefits. Cryptocurrency, specifically Ethereum and BTC, were my main focus. I made a quick huge investment ($ 202,700) in the two. Fast forward to a time when I needed to do withdrawals with my investors, but like most people, this firm denied my withdrawals. I had to act fast! So when my deep research came to Decode Hacker, I wasted no time. They had a 4.7 rating and that was more than enough. In a day, they recovered $199,960 which was way more than my expectations. Bigup Decode Hackers. email: decodehackers(AT)gmail(DOT)com Telegram: +1 (917) 384‑3379

I tried everything I could to get my money back after I lost it to an online scammer last month using Bitcoin transactions. Eventually, I came across a crypto recovery expert agency that was assisting many other people in getting their money back. I contacted them and sent them a complaint via their company email, RECOVERYEXPERT AT RESCUETEAM dot COM, and provided them with all the information they required for the recovery. I verified the payment in my wallet account in less than 48 hours. To effortlessly retrieve all of your lost money without having to pay anything up front, please get in touch with them right once if you have fallen victim to an online scam.

Hello to all of you.My name is Mable Johanson from Boston MA. I fell prey to a cryptocurrency fraud. I was tricked by a Facebook impostor into believing that I could profit greatly from a licensed cryptocurrency company that assisted traders in making investments and making money. I invested with them without hesitation, not realizing that they were merely con artists who stole $194,800 worth of cryptocurrency from me. After reading encouraging web articles and testimonials regarding a certified team of brilliant hackers known as Recovery professionals in cryptocurrency/bitcoin recovery and providing any kind of hacking services, etc. As a token of gratitude, this was the most I could do for them by attesting to their ability to reimburse me for the money I had lost after speaking with them. I was able to testify to their excellent service and provide their contact information here for anyone who might also require their assistance after speaking with them, and they were able to retrieve my stolen money. RECOVERYEXPERT at RESCUETEAM dot COM is the email address.

I am John Hall, and I live in California. I was contacted by one Carmen who instructed me to set up an account on a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange to purchase BITCOIN, transfer funds to a Trust Wallet account, and then directed me to transfer funds to the fraudulent trading website “darwave.com”. Over the course of a few months, I made repeat investments into the platform totaling over $30,000. During this time, I was assured that my money could be made back and at one point Carmen offered to send $41,000 of her own assets, plus an additional $8,000 that I previously sent to Carmen as a good faith measure, to supplement my investment on the platform. After the alleged transfer, I was led to believe that I had $234,000 USDT in my account balance as a result of the trade. However, when I tried to withdraw, the website informed me that my account was suspended and that my assets were frozen. After contacting the website’s customer service, I was told that my withdrawal would only be approved when I provide an additional payment outside the platform to pay off the short-term capital gains tax on their profits. At this point I realized the fraudulent nature of the website and reported the incident. A friend then recommended "**RECOVERYCOINGROUP AT GMAIL DOT COM**" who helped recover all my money and then brought down the website so they'll not be able to scam someone else.
