INTRODUCTION

With the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation and evolution, blockchain and Web3.0 technology continue to play their dual roles of leadership in the field. The 2024 Blockchain and Web3.0 Technology Innovation and Application Conference (BWTAC2024) will focus on the core values and cutting-edge applications of blockchain and Web3.0 technology, and explore the latest progress of blockchain in terms of performance and scalability, as well as its representative applications in various fields such as finance, government affairs, and intelligent manufacturing, etc. Meanwhile, the topic of BWTAC will focus on privacy, security and solutions, involving encryption technology, privacy protection and network attack defense. In addition, it will also cover privacy computing, data elements and the combination of blockchain+artificial intelligence, including the exploration of blockchain and Web3.0 in the development of the Metaverse. The first academic annual meeting of the Blockchain Branch of the CIE will also be held at the same time. It aims to promote the innovation and application of blockchain and Web3.0 technologies at home and abroad, which will bring together experts from industry, academia and research, to inspire and cultivate a group of new Technology, new industries, new business formats, and new models, in aims of promoting the future development of blockchain and Web3.0.
