JAKARTA - The MEXC Foundation is working with Triv, a crypto asset trading platform in Indonesia, officially announcing the launch of the FIR E Scholarship Program (Future Innovators in Rising Economy). This program is an initiative designed to grow the next generation of blockchain leaders and Web3 Indonesia through education, mentorship, and direct exposure to the real industry.

This scholarship is intended to bridge the important gap in Indonesia's fast-growing digital economy, namely linking academic advantages to practical expertise in blockchain. CEO & Founder of Triv Gabriel Rey said this program could make Indonesia's young generation more successful in pursuing careers in the digital economy, especially in the blockchain and Web3 sectors.

"Because we see trends around the world, the most the billionaire comes from the technology sector. We hope that Indonesia can become the country with the most advanced digital economy in Southeast Asia. The scholarships that we launch are not kidding, we are collaborating with several well-known and largest universities in Indonesia. This is clear evidence that the crypto industry in Indonesia has a huge impact on the people of Indonesia. In the past, there was a stigma that the crypto industry was doubtful, but now this industry can have a direct impact on all people in Indonesia," he said, Wednesday, November 12.

VP of MEXC Foundation Kristina Xu said the MEXC Foundation and Triv have the same mission, namely empowering the younger generation through education and technology. Indonesia's young and technology literate population, as well as the presence of Triv for more than a decade in Indonesia, make this partnership a very natural step.

Together, these two organizations built a sustainable talent development path to strengthen Indonesia's position in the digital economy, while ensuring new technologies can provide tangible benefits for local communities.

From a global view, MEXC sees Indonesia as one of the most important future growth machines for blockchain and Web3. Indonesia has a young, large, and truly digital native population, with a very strong retail adoption rate as well as an increasingly clear and constructive regulatory environment, a combination that is rarely found in the world.

For MEXC, Indonesia is not just a country that is 'quiet and waiting', but a country that is 'building and investing'.

"We believe that Indonesia has the potential to become the center of the leading blockchain and Web3 in Southeast Asia on this cycle, and one of the most dynamic in the world," said Kristina.

Indonesia, continued Kristina, is seen both as a rapidly growing developer base as well as a center for blockchain and Web3 innovation that is emerging. The FIRE Scholarship Program builds the skills and mindsets needed for both roles, developing technical expertise while at the same time encouraging creative solutions.

Through this program, Indonesia can contribute not only in the form of talents, but also original innovations for the global blockchain ecosystem. Currently, many countries are competing to develop blockchain talent, according to Kristina, which distinguishes Indonesia's approach compared to other Asian countries. Indonesia's approach is community-based and inclusive.

The collaboration between universities and industry has built a strong foundation for real innovation in the world of work. This under-growing ecosystem allows the younger generation to use blockchain not only as technology, but also as a tool for social and economic progress.

CryptoWave Founder & CEO Goldwin Halim said the blockchain and Web3 industries are developing very quickly, thus requiring wider information. The right literacy allows people to distinguish innovation from speculation.

"With true public education, we can strengthen the ecosystem, not only from the investor side, but also from the innovator side and future talent," he said.

Regarding students' interest in blockchain and Web3 at this time, according to Goldwin, it is also very, very large, even bigger than a few years ago, but unfortunately it is still not directed. Many students are interested because of the trend, not because of deep understanding. This is where programs such as the Triv Foundation x MEXC Foundation collaboration have an important role to play in changing curiosity into real competence.

CryptoWave itself comes as a liaison between industry and society. CryptoWave's job ensures that information about this program is delivered accurately, easily understood, and interestingly, especially for young students and talents who want to enter the Web3 world.

"We want to make sure education is not only informative, but also relevant and build trust," added Goldwin.

As for the prospect of Indonesia's blockchain and Web3 talents compared to other Asian countries, Goldwin said, Indonesia is actually entering the acceleration phase. Indonesia has a giant user base, an active community, and now it is starting to have institutional support.

What needs to be pursued is deep technical competencies such as smart contracts, security, and research. With the right ecosystem, Indonesia can become one of the strongest talent centers in Southeast Asia.

The challenge is a combination of several things, for example, the source of learning in Indonesian is still minimal, the stigma of fast-rich crypto is still strong, and local model roles in the technical field are still very small. CryptoWave wants to fill the gap by presenting credible, structured, and data-based education," he said.

For information, as many as 20 students from 11 partner universities will receive full tuition support for one semester, access to the FIRE Mentorship Lab which presents industry experts, as well as the opportunity to act as Student Ambassadors (Student Ambassadors) on the global Web3 network.

In addition to tuition assistance, FIR E participants will get a career development path structured in the blockchain sector through guidance from fintech and Web3 leaders, support for student-driven innovation and hackathon projects, as well as integration into the international professional community.

This program places its recipients as a liaison between Indonesian academic institutions and the global blockchain ecosystem. This collaboration takes advantage of Triv's decade-long experience in Indonesia, which has served more than 3 million users since 2015, as well as the MEXC Foundation's global reach in the field of education and blockchain and Web3 empowerment.

Together, these two organizations created a path of sustainable talent that strengthens Indonesia's position in the digital economy, while ensuring that new technologies can provide tangible benefits to the local community. This initiative reflects two of the three main pillars of the MEXC Foundation, namely Education (Education) and Empowerment.
