Founder Arthur Leads: From Special Forces Commander to Web3 Pioneer
July 31, 2025, Singapore - Giants Protocol Founder Arthur Lin embodies the true meaning of a "pioneer":
Technical Foundation: Started learning computer science at age 9, becoming one of the earliest students from Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC) to study Cambridge GCE A-Level computer science in the late 1990s.
Military Legend: Singapore's first special forces member to undergo vision correction surgery, also the first special forces officer to wear glasses. Led the 3G digital upgrade of the Special Operations Command, executed two combat missions in Afghanistan, and was among fewer than 50 Singaporeans to graduate from the US Army Ranger School. In 2012, became a paratrooper special operations commander, leading covert operations.
Entrepreneurial Pioneer: Transformed the US IP 'Zombie Run' into a global phenomenon, launched the first large-scale offline-to-online (O2O) event, and sold it to Alibaba Sports in 2017. In 2019, launched one of Asia's earliest Move-to-Earn blockchain games (concurrent with Genopets and STEPN), recognized by Silicon Valley's 500 Global accelerator.
Leading Asian FinTech Transformation: Invested by Singapore's sovereign wealth fund since inception, dedicated to transforming traditional finance into Web3. Driving real-world asset (RWA) tokenization through advanced AI technologies supported by national research institution A*STAR, leading financial industry transformation.
"My mission has always been to maximize human potential, now realized through cutting-edge technology," Arthur says.
Giants Protocol: Next-Generation Asset Protocol for Bitcoin Ecosystem
Under Arthur's leadership, Giants Protocol has built a dynamic asset protocol on Bitcoin L1, combining inscription technology with a new UTXO model, bringing breakthrough advancements:
- Security and Efficiency Revolution: UTXO-based asset search engine increases query speed by 20 times, reduces gas costs by 90%, enabling real-time on-chain upgrades of complex assets (like real estate, AI copyrights).
- Sovereign-Level Endorsement: Direct investment from Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, becoming the first RWA protocol supported by a leading financial economy - Singapore.
- Ecosystem Expansion: Building a hyperconnected, decentralized, and fair global financial system aimed at eliminating poverty and empowering global wealth creation. Starting from real estate RWA - tokenizing and expanding co-living spaces, allowing anyone to afford living spaces and integrate into digital native community culture; to tokenizing carbon credits to promote sustainable technologies and expand global carbon sink capacity; to supporting high-yield potential real-world assets and enterprises through RWA tokenization, bringing real value to the virtual Web3 economy.
"We are dismantling the walls of traditional finance, connecting the old world with the rapidly developing crypto world."
Combining Pop Culture with Tokenized Business: Leveraging a trillion-dollar consumer market. Unlike traditional RWA projects focusing on financial instruments, Giants Protocol is blazing a new path - merging lifestyle IP with real-world business on-chain, strategically addressing three key pain points:
- IP Asset Fragmentation: Limited by physical storage, limited edition luxury and trendy brands have less than 5% global circulation. Giants enables ownership split into tradable tokens through dynamic metadata binding, granting offline redemption rights, resale dividend rights, and other convertible benefits.
- Retail Traffic Decline: Traditional membership systems fail to activate user data value. $G token serves as a "data equity certificate" between brands and users, with users earning tokens through consumption, and brands exchanging tokens for on-chain marketing services.
- Inefficient Cross-Border IP Licensing: International IPs entering Asian markets go through multiple agents, with splits exceeding 60%. Giants' smart contracts enable direct connection between copyright holders and brands, reducing split costs to 15%.
Major Progress: Locking 90% of Tokens for at Least 6 Months to Achieve Long-Term Sustainable Growth
Giants Protocol officially announces accelerating token lock-up plan to enhance long-term ecosystem stability. 90% of circulating $G tokens will be pre-locked via smart contracts, laying the foundation for institutional collaboration. Multiple listed companies, including high-end luxury asset groups, have proactively contacted the project to obtain priority access to its RWA-as-a-Service platform by holding $G tokens.
"As luxury asset tokenization accelerates, $G is gradually becoming the key bridge between real-world luxury goods and Web3 protocol layers," the project team states. "Executing the lock-up plan early demonstrates our commitment to long-term collaboration and enhances partners' confidence in ecosystem sustainability."
Arthur adds: "We aim to create the next-generation luxury lifestyle brand, enabling anyone to own and access through blockchain, just like those century-old luxury groups, now collectively owned and governed by the community."
Collaboration, Not Competition: Co-Exploring RWA+AI Data New Frontiers
When asked about competitors Ondo (current valuation $1.2 billion) and ChainBase (AI data protocol in Binance ecosystem), Arthur displayed an extraordinary perspective:
"Ondo and ChainBase are not competitors, but respectable partners. Ondo proved the trillion-dollar potential of RWA tokenization, while ChainBase demonstrated the urgent need for on-chain AI data.
They established a growth rhythm early with a combined market value of $1.2 billion, indicating massive growth potential. Giants Protocol welcomes all explorers; we want to push the entire track from 'billions' to 'trillions', building more inclusive, sustainable, and revenue-generating channels for global users."
Data shows the market potential of RWA combined with AI data exceeds $41.5 trillion, sufficient to support multiple trillion-dollar protocols.
Exchange Listing Imminent: New Liquidity Era Begins
Giants Protocol has reached consensus with top global exchanges, preparing to launch spot trading soon.
"Listing is not the endpoint, but a key step in providing access channels for everyone, releasing global community capital power, and driving new world order transformation," Arthur shares.
"We are changing the world with Web3 partners, constructing a hyperconnected global community nation and a decentralized, fair global economy."
Conclusion
With sovereign and institutional capital support, a mission-driven founder, and a focused RWA technology route, Giants Protocol is rapidly becoming a beacon of Asia's value internet. The upcoming exchange spot trading is destined to be one of the most anticipated liquidity events in 2025.
