Lily Liu: Integrating Web2 super apps with public blockchains is key to unlocking the potential of the ownership economy

Foresight News on-site report: Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, stated at the Consensus 2026 conference that the core positioning of blockchain is as financial infrastructure. Its key capability lies in providing digital scarcity and reliable value preservation, making it especially suitable for scenarios involving money, transactions, and asset confirmation.

In addition, Lily Liu believes that integrating Web2 super applications with public blockchains is key to unlocking the potential of the ownership economy. Although there are differences in perspectives between technology-driven and finance-driven camps, consensus is converging on financial nativity—applications that are deeply integrated with currency, payments, and asset trading are most likely to endure market cycles and reconstruct a more efficient global financial system.
