  INTRODUCTION
   
  We have acted as Cayman Islands counsel to the Company in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-8, including all amendments or supplements thereto (Registration Statement), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended to date (Securities Act) relating to the registration of up to 3,317,204 Class A ordinary shares of the Company with a par value of US$0.0001 each (Shares) to be issued pursuant to the Company’s 2025 Share Incentive Plan as adopted by resolutions of the board of directors of the Company passed on 17 February 2025 (2025 Plan).
   
  We are furnishing this opinion as Exhibits 5.1 and 23.1 to the Registration Statement.
   
  OUR REVIEW
   
  For the purposes of giving this opinion we have examined and relied (without further verification) upon the documents listed in Schedule 1 (Documents). We have not examined any other documents, even if they are referred to in the Documents.
   
  We have not made any other enquiries concerning the Company and in particular we have not investigated or verified any matter of fact or opinion (whether set out in the Documents or elsewhere) other than as expressly stated in this opinion.
   
  LIMITATIONS
   
  Our opinion is limited to, and should be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands at the date of this opinion. We express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction.
   
  This opinion is limited to the matters stated in it and does not extend, and is not to be extended by implication, to any other matters. We express no opinion on the commercial implications of the Documents or whether they give effect to the commercial intentions of the parties.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

This opinion may be used only in connection with 2025 Plan while the Registration Statement is effective.

 

ASSUMPTIONS AND RESERVATIONS

 

We give the following opinions on the basis of the assumptions set out in Schedule 2 (Assumptions), which we have not verified, and subject to the reservations set out in Schedule 3 (Reservations).

 

OPINIONS

 

1.Incorporation and Status: The Company is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and is a separate legal entity. The Company is in good standing with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

 

2.Authorised Share Capital: The authorised share capital of the Company is US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 shares comprising of (i) 450,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each, (ii) 2,042,042 Class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each, and (iii) 47,957,958 shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each of such class or classes (however designated) as the board of directors of the Company may determine in accordance with articles 3.1 and 3.2 of the Constitutional Documents.

 

3.Valid Issuance of Shares: The issue and allotment of the Shares have been duly authorised and when allotted, issued and paid for as contemplated in the 2025 Plan, the Shares will be legally issued and allotted, fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members (shareholders).

 

Yours faithfully

Schedule 3

 

Reservations

 

Our opinion is subject to the following:

 

1.Non-Assessable: In this opinion, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the issuance of any shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant shares and in the absence of any contractual arrangements, or any obligations pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association, to the contrary, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company’s assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstance in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

 

2.Good Standing: Our opinion as to good standing is based solely upon receipt of the Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Registrar of Companies. The Company shall be deemed to be in good standing under section 200A of the Companies Act on the date of issue of the certificate if all fees and penalties under the Companies Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Act.

 

3.Corporate Documents: The Registry of Companies in the Cayman Islands is not public in the sense that copies of the Constitutional Documents of the Company and information on shareholders is not publicly available and information on directors is limited. We have therefore obtained copies of the corporate documents specified in Schedule 1 and relied exclusively on such copies for the verification of such corporate information.

 

4.Statements made in Documents: Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions, which are the subject of this opinion.
