TL;DR
- Event: Openguin Party at ETHMilan 2026 — one of the most anticipated web3 events in Europe this year.
- Co-hosts: WEEX Labs, Pudgy Penguins and Berachain.
- Key highlight: 20-minute live AI trading competition using WEEX's AI Agent. Electric, hands-on, and re-defined AI trading in crypto.
- Beyond the party: WEEX AI Wars Global Hackathon (Edition 2 launching June 2026) — building the future of automated trading.
Milan, May 20, 2026 — On the opening night of ETHMilan 26, WEEX Labs, together with Pudgy Penguins and Berachain, turned the SACE Terrace into the most talked-about kickoff event of the week. Overlooking the Duomo, with aperitivo in hand and the sunset painting the sky, more than 200 founders, investors, KOLs, builders, and creators gathered to experience a new kind of crypto gathering — one where WEEX Labs put AI-powered trading front and center.
More Than a Party: WEEX Labs Brings AI Trading Innovation to Milan Community
This wasn't just a networking event. WEEX Labs brought real action — and real adrenaline — to the rooftop. The live AI Trading Competition (limited to just 200 spots) onsite became the undisputed highlight. As the evening sun dipped behind Milan's skyline, the rooftop transformed into a live trading floor. Laptops glowed. Eyes stayed locked on charts. Among all participating traders and AI veterans, only 20% achieved profitability, with the Champion gaining a 6.35%profit—this is the rawest reality of the competition and the market, sparking boundless imagination for the future of AI trading.
But the real win? Attendees got to experience WEEX's AI-powered trading tools firsthand. Trade using natural language — just type or speak what you want. Lightning-fast execution. So simple that even a first-time user could jump right in. No learning curve. No intimidation. Just pure, smooth trading.
For WEEX, this wasn't a demo — it was a trust-building exercise. By letting attendees touch, feel, and compete using the product in real time, WEEX transformed "AI-driven trading" from a marketing phrase into a tangible, memorable advantage. The message was clear: AI trading is no longer reserved for experts. Anyone can do it.
Beyond the AI: A Platform Built for Smooth, Powerful Trading
And that's not all. Behind the AI is a powerhouse platform: 1,700+ trading pairs, industry-leading liquidity, and a buttery-smooth experience. WEEX never stops improving. The latest features — Quick Trade, Brand New Navigation, and Guaranteed Price — save users time and hassle. Attendees who tried them on-site loved them. Newcomers who signed up at the party walked away saying the same: This is what crypto trading should feel like.
By continuously optimizing product innovation, WEEX delivers a seamless user experience that lowers the barrier to AI trading — making advanced tools accessible to both first-time users and seasoned pros.

A Power Trio: WEEX Labs, Pudgy Penguins & Berachain
WEEX Labs didn't go solo. Pudgy Penguins brought its passionate meme culture and a community of trendsetters. Berachain brought L1 heat with Proof-of-Liquidity and DeFi apps like BEX and Bend. Together, the trio created an atmosphere that was both relaxed and electric — where protocols met communities, builders met backers, and WEEX met the people shaping crypto's next chapter.
For WEEX, this collaboration injected cultural warmth and technical depth into its brand. It broke the stereotype of centralized exchanges as cold, utilitarian platforms. The message was clear: WEEX is becoming a connective hub where different ecosystems and high-quality resources converge.
Exclusive Merch, Italian Bites, and the Unforgettable "WEEX Moment"
Attendees walked away with more than just connections. WEEX gave away LALIGA official jerseys (WEEX is the Official Regional Partner of LALIGA in Hong Kong and Taiwan), custom keyboard & mouse sets, and exclusive Pudgy x WEEX merch. But more importantly, they walked away with a firsthand understanding of what WEEX is building — not as passive listeners, but as active participants who traded, asked questions, competed, and even imagined themselves as future hackathon builders.
That immersive brand experience is precisely what sets WEEX Labs apart from traditional exchange events.
From Milan to the World: WEEX Is Not Just a Crypto Exchange.
The Openguin Party was far from an isolated brand activation. It was a deliberate step in WEEX Labs' global strategy. By hosting high-touch, high-interaction events at major European crypto conferences, WEEX is achieving several strategic goals:
- Brand Elevation — Shifting from "crypto exchange" to "AI-powered trading infrastructure provider."
- User base expansion — Precisely reaching developers, professional traders, and KOLs to build a high-quality user base.
- Ecosystem Synergy — Co-hosting with top-tier projects like Pudgy Penguins and Berachain to boost trust and industry influence.
- Differentiation — Creating a unique tech narrative through natural language trading, AI tools, hackathons, and live competitions.
The Openguin Party has ended, but its ripples across the industry are just beginning.
WEEX Labs delivered a concentrated dose of its brand philosophy: open, intelligent, connected, and fun. As AI and crypto move toward a deeper fusion, WEEX is securing its seat at the table — one live interaction, one hackathon, one rooftop at a time.
"See you under the Milano sky."— Next stop, maybe your city.
