RootData Business Head Max Zhou: Transparency is the infrastructure of the new Web3 cycle, reshaping industry trust standards
At the "Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy" themed forum held in Hong Kong, Max Zhou, the business head of RootData, delivered a keynote speech titled "Trust as Infrastructure: How Data Transparency Reshapes the New Cycle of Web3."
Max Zhou pointed out that transparency is no longer an "added bonus," but rather a threshold for institutions, regulators, and users. RootData positions itself as a leading Web3 enterprise data platform, quantifying project information completeness and credibility through financing data, relationship maps, and the industry's unique "transparency scoring" system.
He introduced that RootData has recorded over 9,600 financing events, more than 18,000 key industry figures, and has rated over 19,000 projects on a scale from A to F, becoming an important reference for institutional due diligence and exchange listing assessments. The platform has established ecological partnerships with over 220 institutions, including Binance Wallet, OKX, and ByBit.
In addition, RootData has launched a three-dimensional assessment model for exchanges (liquidity + asset value + transparency), discarding the "volume-only theory." Max Zhou emphasized that transparency is becoming a new axis for Web3, just as essential as security audits.
