Influence Chain is the world's first decentralized data engine for the value of influence. It is dedicated to using blockchain and distributed storage technologies to create a global ecosystem focusing on the value of influence. Registered in 2017, the Influence Chain Foundation is an influence platform spontaneously organized and operated by developers and enthusiasts from multiple countries around the world. Its goal is to uncover people with a public visibility or social influence in various industries and sectors, and demonstrate their value on the new dimensions through blockchain technologies. Influence Chain has created an ecosystem based on tokens as well as a value trading platform designed to serve the influence economy by leveraging the features and advantages of blockchain, so as to convert influence (personalized intellectual property right) into the digital asset of token holders.

Today, Influence Chain has been successfully established in Asia and Europe.

HYSTA was created by Silicon Valley's first-generation Chinese tech entrepreneurs in 1999, aiming to promote the interactions between China and the United States through technology and cultivate the next-generation tech innovators with a global vision. Leading Silicon Valley Chinese entrepreneurs Chen Hong, Deng Feng, and Zhu Min used to serve as the chairman of HYSTA. The current chairman is David Chen, the former president of Pactera. As the most influential non-profit organization in promoting the technology exchange between China and the United States today, HYSTA already has tens of thousands of members, and its annual conference has attracted speakers who are celebrities in the United States such as former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. HYSTA has played a major role in helping increase the visibility and influence of Chinese Americans in the United States as well as in promoting the in-depth interactions between China and the United States in the technology industry. In 2002, the Businessweek magazine called HYSTA "a bridge connecting China's business stars to the United States".
