In a significant development in the Web3 landscape, Lydian Labs, a full-stack solutions provider renowned for organizing the Malaysia Blockchain Week, has been officially acquired by BlockOffice, a company specializing in fractional CFO services, company formation, accounting, fundraising, and back-office support for tech firms focused on blockchain and Web3 technologies.
BlockOffice boasts a solid funding base with contributions from notable founders, investors, and executives from leading companies, including Accel, Deel, Nium, Wise, Coinbase, and Temasek. The acquisition aims to enhance the service offerings of both companies, merging BlockOffice’s financial expertise with Lydian Labs’ marketing acumen.
Jay Lim, the CEO of BlockOffice Group, highlighted the synergies this acquisition will create. He emphasized that many companies in the sector face challenges in achieving efficient growth and adopting sound marketing strategies. The integration of Lydian Labs’ leadership, including Noelle Lee and Dr. Ian Tan, into the newly branded company, ACTIV8, offers a unique opportunity to enhance client outreach through data-driven marketing techniques while maintaining a strong financial foundation.
With the rebranding to ACTIV8, the original co-founders have transitioned into leadership roles, taking most of their team with them. They are optimistic about the new direction and capabilities that the merger brings, with Noelle Lee expressing confidence in the expanded resources and expertise that will drive better client outcomes.
Since the acquisition, ACTIV8 has reported remarkable growth, achieving a threefold increase in sales year-on-year within just three months. This growth reflects the potential unlocked by joining forces with BlockOffice, positioning the company strategically within the evolving landscape of Web3 and blockchain technology.
ACTIV8 continues to serve as the official organizer of the Malaysia Blockchain Week, an event that has rapidly become a significant platform for discussing innovations in Web3. The recently held MYBW 2025 saw over 6,000 attendees and was attended by high-ranking officials, illustrating the event’s status in the region.
The future looks promising for Malaysia Blockchain Week 2026, as planning is already underway. Dr. Ian Tan, now a Managing Partner at ACTIV8, has asserted the company’s commitment to making Malaysia a hub for blockchain innovation, building on the strong foundations laid by earlier events.
Following the acquisition, BlockOffice has also bolstered its ecosystem, bringing in Pixel8Labs, a tech studio with a specialization in developing a wide range of blockchain applications such as crypto exchanges, gaming platforms, and NFT services. This strategic move establishes a robust framework with five core areas of expertise:
- Finance – BlockOffice’s fractional CFO and company formation services.
- Marketing – ACTIV8’s fractional CMO with expertise in global Web3 marketing.
- Technology – Pixel8Labs’ fractional CTO and product development services.
- Web3 Advisory – Token advisory and support services.
- Investments – BlockOffice Ventures, dedicated to selected investments.
As the journey into the Web3 sector evolves, the collaboration between BlockOffice and ACTIV8 signifies a transformative shift in the way Web3 services are delivered, aiming to enhance growth prospects for businesses in this dynamic space.
ACTIV8 encourages stakeholders and interested parties to connect through their official channels, ensuring that the development of integrated marketing solutions continues to resonate throughout the Web3 community.
