Featured in Media
Steve was interviewed by Caijing Magazine, one of the most reputable magazines in China, regarding Facebook’s blockchain project Libra. According to Steve, the fact that Libra has 100 nodes, a number surpassing most of the blockchain projects in the market, signifies Libra will be more decentralized compared to the other crypto counterparts.
Steve joined an online discussion hosted by Shenlian Caijing, one of the most influential crypto media in China, with other industry pundits including founder of Kuaidi, founder of ArcBlock, and more. During the heated debate on Libra, Steve elaborated his doubts on the future of the decentralized banking institutions.
Steve published an op-ed on forkast.news, proposing an alternative solution to Huawei’s blacklising dilemma — decentralization. According to Steve, as the stakes of 5G technology are rising, centralization will bring more concerns. Decentralization can leverage the resources and power, thus enhancing trust, transparency and security that have been overlooked in the centralized system.

About TOP Network
TOP Network is a decentralized open communication network that provides cloud communication services on the blockchain. TOP offers secure, low-cost services such as messaging, calling, video, VPN, CDN, IoT data sharing and more.
TOP Network is also a high-performance public blockchain platform designed to handle real-world business of any size or volume. Powered by innovations including three-layer network, two-layer sharding, two-layer lattice DAG and PBFT-PoS*, TOP can process several hundred thousand transactions per second on the blockchain.
The long-term mission of TOP Network is to build a public blockchain infrastructure for all Dapps. Our world-class team of over 100 developers is striving for this goal.
TOP Network originated from the common underlying network layer of Dingtone, CoverMe and SkyVPN, three communication apps built by the TOP team before the blockchain project. These apps, having attracted over 60 million users in total, will be ported to TOP Network upon the launch of TOP and generate huge volumes of transactions in the TOP ecosystem.
TOP Network was founded by serial entrepreneur Steve Wei and his colleagues in late 2017. Steve was one of the earliest employees of WebEx in the 1990s. After WebEx, he founded a successful video conferencing software company which was acquired by Huawei in 2010. In 2012, Steve co-founded Dingtone, a public listed company operating popular communication apps such as Dingtone, CoverMe and SkyVPN.
On March 26th, TOP Network made its debut as the first project launched through Huobi Prime — Huobi’s selective Direct Premium Offering platform. A total of 1.5 billion TOP Tokens were sold out in seconds, after which the price of TOP surged 2770% once it was freely tradable. Upon the listing, TOP’s trading volume hit $100 million in just eight seconds, and surpassed the trading volume of Bitcoin at $250 million in less than a week, ranking first in terms of volume on Huobi Global. Before that, TOP Network has closed $15 million early investments from prestigious institutional investors and individual billionaire investors, including DHVC, Fenbushi Capital, NEO Global Capital (NGC), Ontology Global Capital (OGC), LD Capital and more.
