Timur Tursunov: Pioneering Web3 Marketing Innovation and Setting Industry Standards

Published

on

October 23, 2025 — In the dynamic realm of Web3, where decentralized technologies are redefining user engagement and digital economies, few have made as profound an impact as Timur Tursunov. As the founder and CEO of Web3Quest.app, Tursunov has been honored with the prestigious “Marketing Expert of the Year” award for 2025 by GA^3IN Ventures, a Duke University-affiliated venture syndicate renowned for spotlighting trailblazers in Web3 and AI. This exclusive annual accolade, granted to only one recipient each year since its inception in 2020, recognizes exceptional contributions to marketing innovation, strategy, and execution in blockchain and decentralized ecosystems.

The award’s selection process unfolded during GA^3IN Ventures event in Seoul, Korea and included venture capitalists from firms like Vox Ventures, Hesperian Ventures, Berkeley SkyDeck, Istari Ventures, AI21 Labs, Waterdrip Capital, Orange DAO, and Intchains Group Limited—evaluated nominees based on criteria such as innovation, measurable impact, and industry advancement. Tursunov’s formal presentation took place amid the vibrant energy of TOKEN2049 in Singapore, hosted at the offices of Antler, one of the world’s most renowned early-stage venture capital firms. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Singapore, Antler is recognized as the most active early-stage investor globally according to PitchBook’s Global League Tables, with a presence in over 30 cities, more than 1,500 investments, and a thriving community supporting over 800 portfolio companies from day zero.

This marks the latest in GA^3IN Ventures’ track record of identifying elite talent; in 2024, the honor went to Chris James Murphy of Klink Finance for scaling his platform from 10,000 to over 1 million users and forging partnerships with giants like Coinbase and Binance. GA^3IN Ventures, boasting a global community of over 16,000 members, has hosted more than 100 events worldwide, including international pitch competitions with substantial prize pools. With strong ties to top-tier business schools and investors from entities like Polygon Ventures and Crypto.com Capital, the organization maintains exceptionally high standards, making this award a hallmark of excellence in the competitive Web3 sector.

Revolutionizing User Verification in Web3

Tursunov’s recognition stems from his groundbreaking work in addressing one of Web3’s most persistent challenges: fraud-resistant user tracking and verification. Under his leadership, 

Web3Quest.app—a gamified quest platform—has delivered over 500 million users to crypto projects.

At the heart of his innovation is an open-source API framework for real-time user behavior tracking, initiated and developed by Tursunov in 2024. This modular system integrates traffic suppliers like Telegram mini-apps with advertisers’ resources, enabling seamless verification of actions such as app installations, social media follows, and blockchain events across platforms including X, Telegram, and Discord. By abstracting complex integrations through proprietary bots and secure endpoints, the framework eliminates the need for custom APIs, reducing latency and fraud.

What sets this apart is its rapid ascent to industry standard status. Open-sourced just last year, it has been widely adopted in the Telegram ad suppliers market, powering millions of verifications monthly and slashing fraud by up to 40% in benchmarks. This has transformed campaign tracking, allowing Telegram mini-apps and bots to monetize traffic scalably and profitably. Suppliers now handle high-volume, pay-per-action models with verifiable results, fostering trust and efficiency in an ecosystem previously marred by disputes and inefficiencies. As a result, countless campaigns have scaled effectively, boosting revenues for mini-apps and bots while driving genuine user growth for advertisers.

“The framework isn’t just a tool—it’s a game-changer for the entire Telegram ecosystem,” Tursunov noted. “By standardizing verification, we’ve enabled suppliers to track and optimize campaigns in real time, turning potential losses into substantial profits.”

Built on Node.js with Express.js, MongoDB, and WebSocket integrations, the system’s technical prowess—detailed in a comprehensive paper authored by Tursunov—underscores its engineering depth. Features like token authentication, anomaly detection, and platform-specific bots ensure security and scalability, handling up to 10,000 requests per minute.

A Selective Honor Amid Fierce Competition

The “Marketing Expert of the Year” is no token gesture. Eligibility is reserved for professionals demonstrating exceptional impact in Web3, with international reach reflecting GA^3IN Ventures’ global footprint. The rigorous evaluation, led by Managing Director Sergey Khusnetdinov—an MBA holder from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, former Microsoft Senior Product Marketing Manager, and recipient of Duke’s “Forever Duke Award”—emphasizes superior performance relative to peers.

Tursunov’s selection highlights his outperformance in a field where only the most innovative thrive. Compared to 2024’s recipient, Murphy, who pivoted Klink Finance to profitability amid market shifts, Tursunov’s contributions stand out for their scale and standardization, delivering verifiable growth in a fraud-prone space.

Looking Ahead in Web3

Beyond his platform, Tursunov’s open-source ethos has democratized access, empowering smaller players in Telegram’s burgeoning ad market. As Web3 matures, he envisions AI-enhanced personalization to further refine user journeys.

This award from GA^3IN Ventures—a beacon of credibility with portfolio successes and ties to industry heavyweights—affirms Tursunov’s role as a visionary. In a sector hungry for trust and efficiency, his work is building the foundations for sustainable growth.


A Conversation with Timur Tursunov: Driving Web3 Growth and Industry Standards

In an exclusive interview, Timur Tursunov discusses his “Marketing Expert of the Year” accolade, the transformative power of his API framework, and the future of Web3 marketing.

Media: Congratulations on the “Marketing Expert of the Year” from GA^3IN Ventures. What does this mean for you?

Tursunov: It’s profoundly validating, especially from an organization like GA^3IN Ventures, with its Duke affiliations and connections to top VCs. It’s recognition of how we’re elevating the entire Web3 marketing landscape.

Media: Your API framework has become an industry standard. How has it specifically helped Telegram mini-apps and bots profit from campaigns?

Tursunov: We identified the fraud and verification gaps in traffic monetization early on. By open-sourcing the system in 2024, we’ve enabled real-time tracking that verifies millions of user actions monthly, reducing fraud by 40%. This has allowed mini-apps and bots to run scalable campaigns with confidence, turning unverified traffic into profitable, fraud-resistant revenue streams. It’s now the go-to standard in the Telegram ad market, powering countless high-volume operations.

Media: What advice do you offer aspiring Web3 marketers?

Tursunov: Prioritize verifiable impact and innovation. In a competitive space, focus on tools that solve real problems—like fraud in user acquisition. Network relentlessly; events like Korea Blockchain Week and TOKEN2049 are goldmines for feedback and growth.

Media: What’s next for Web3Quest and your innovations?

Tursunov: We’re integrating AI for predictive tracking, expanding the framework to more platforms. The goal is mainstream Web3 adoption through transparent, efficient marketing that benefits everyone—from mini-apps to global projects.

Precise on the Track, Stylish in Life: Christopher Bell’s High-Speed Journey and COOFANDY’s Quality Resonance

Published

on

In the highly competitive arena of NASCAR, Christopher Bell has distinguished himself with his fearless driving style and unwavering determination. From his early emergence on dirt tracks to his back-to-back-to back victories to kick off the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, Bell has proven with his skill that he is not only a mainstay of the Toyota camp but also a strong contender for the championship. His racing career has always been defined by pushing limits and a relentless pursuit of victory.

Speed and Style in Harmony: Aligning with COOFANDY’s Philosophy  

Racing is about precision down to the last detail, while dressing is about responding appropriately to different occasions. It is this shared pursuit of precision and quality that brought Bell together with COOFANDY. COOFANDY not only understands the dressing needs of modern men in diverse scenarios but is also committed to providing functional and aesthetically designed apparel that supports elite individuals like Bell in seamlessly transitioning from the track to daily life, from the spotlight to behind the scenes.

Pre-Race Preparation: Balancing Focus and Comfort  

When it comes to the challenges of racing, Bell knows every track demands a different mindset. “Martinsville Speedway presents a unique challenge,” said Bell. “It is the smallest track we race on all season, so you don’t have a lot of space to navigate your way through traffic. It is hard to ever get really comfortable on the track because you are always getting bumped around, and then factor in the high stakes for this race since it will set the field of four competing for the championship. I’m lucky to have a great race team around me that helps me prepare for the challenge. The No. 20 Coofandy Toyota Camry looks really good and what an exciting race to have a new sponsor on board—hopefully we can get it done on Sunday and lock into the next round.”

Beyond the car, Bell’s preparation extends into mindset, focus, and daily balance. COOFANDY’s precise tailoring and versatile designs provide the comfort and confidence that complement the demands of his high-performance lifestyle, ensuring he remains composed and ready for every challenge, both on and off the track.

COOFANDY: Dressing Solutions for Diverse Scenarios  

To accommodate the frequent role shifts during race events, COOFANDY has crafted style solutions for Bell that precisely match each scenario:

The men’s suit jacket, sharp yet flexible, allows him to exude professionalism during press conferences.

The cotton short-sleeve T-shirt, with its modern fit and skin-friendly texture, is ideal for business meetings and team discussions.

The sports shorts provide unrestricted comfort during training sessions and casual downtime.

A Symphony of Speed and Style  

The collaboration between Christopher Bell and COOFANDY is not just a fusion of performance and style but also a profound resonance of two dedicated spirits and precise attitudes. As Bell continues to break new ground on the track, COOFANDY stands by him, providing unwavering support in life, together embodying the multifaceted charm of the modern elite man.

CGTN: China unveils development blueprint for the next five years

Published

on

As a key Party meeting unveils China’s development roadmap for the next five years, CGTN published an article, highlighting the country’s major tasks and objectives under the 15th Five-Year Plan and analyzing how the plan can bring opportunities for the rest of the world.

Following a key Party meeting, China’s development roadmap for the next five years has started to materialize.

Participants at the four-day meeting – the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) – deliberated over and adopted the Recommendations of the CPC Central Committee for Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan (FYP) for Economic and Social Development.

During the 2026-2030 period, China should build a modernized industrial system and reinforce the foundations of the real economy, and achieve greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology and steer the development of new quality productive forces, according to a communique of the session released on Thursday.

China will make forward-looking plans for future industries, striving to develop quantum technology, bio-manufacturing, hydrogen and nuclear fusion energy, brain-computer interfaces, embodied artificial intelligence, and 6th generation mobile communications into new growth drivers, said Zheng Shanjie, head of the National Development and Reform Commission, at a press conference on Friday.

As these industries build momentum, the new scale added over the next 10 years is expected to be equivalent to creating another high-tech industry for China, said Zheng.

According to the communique, China should also build a robust domestic market and work faster to foster a new pattern of development, move faster to develop a high-standard socialist market economy and boost the momentum for high-quality development, and promote high-standard opening up and create new horizons for mutually beneficial cooperation.

Commerce Minister Wang Wentao said China will take the initiative to open itself wider to the outside world, promote the innovative development of trade, create greater space for two-way investment cooperation, and pursue high-quality Belt and Road cooperation in the 15th FYP period.

“Moving forward, whether it is opening up or attracting investment, we will avoid zero-sum approaches that harm others for personal gain,” Wang said. “Instead, we will focus on mutually beneficial and shared development.”

Major objectives for the 15th FYP have also been set, which include making fresh breakthroughs in further deepening reform comprehensively, notable cultural and ethical progress across society, and further improvements in quality of life, among others.

A ‘boon’ for the world

At present, China remains in a phase of development where strategic opportunities exist alongside risks and challenges, while “uncertainties and unforeseen factors are rising,” said the communique.

Pointing to “a lot of upheaval” in the world, Bert Hofman, a professor at the National University of Singapore, highlighted China’s value of  policy consistency and continuity by making five-year plans.

China, by contrast, is continuing to implement its plan towards socialist modernization, Hofman told the Financial Times.

China will continue to expand opening up at the institutional level, safeguard the multilateral trading system, and promote broader international economic flows. It will advance reform and development through greater openness and seek to share opportunities and achieve common development with the rest of the world, reads the communique.

To date, China has granted zero-tariff treatment to 100 percent of tariff items for products from the least developed countries and African nations with which it has established diplomatic relations. It has also eliminated foreign investment restrictions in its manufacturing sector, expanded market access in telecom, healthcare and education, and established 22 pilot free trade zones.

China would remain the largest contributor to global growth and global trade, said Liu Qiao, an economist and a professor at Peking University.

“Given the size of its economy and its growing role in global value chains, further opening up is not only critical for China to achieve high-quality development but also undoubtedly a boon for other countries,” Liu said.
