JAKARTA - Forbes, one of the world's leading business magazines, has taken innovative steps by launching its 30-year Underlist on the Ethereum blockchain. This is the first time a major publication company has used blockchain technology to store data permanently and transparently.

The Under 30 list is a list that appreciates young people who excel in various fields, ranging from media, sports, technology, to art and social. According to Forbes, this step aims to ensure that all the achievements possessed by individuals listed on this list are permanently listed on the blockchain.

The plan, Forbes will launch all Under 30 list categories to the blockchain, along with individual profiles of all listed names. Forbes also hopes that with the use of blockchain technology, they can show great potential from this technology in terms of data storage and security.

Forbes is at the forefront of combining traditional media with cutting-edge technology. By launching the Under 30 list on the Ethereum blockchain, we not only recognize influential young leaders; we also show great potential, which has not been fully exploited, from blockchain technology in terms of data storage and security," said Vadim Supitskiy, Forbes Chief Digital and Information Officer.

The 2024 financial list for North America includes several representatives from the crypto industry. Some of the names listed are Injective Labs founders Eric Chen and Albert Chon, as well as Fractal's Aya Kantorovich and Aleks Larsen from Blockchain Capital. In addition, there are also Layer3 founders, Darianya Khojasteh and Brandon Kumar, Bitcoin founder Brandon Mintz, and Sei Labs founder Jeff Feng and Jayendra Jog.
