The Korean platform aims to be the blockchain of choice for gaming and metaverse projects around the world, and it is also pursuing continued integration with the decentralized finance ecosystem.

Since August 2021, Klaytn has partnered with Japanese tech giant GMO Group, Asian NFT marketplace East NFT, US-based entertainment firm Animal Concerts, fintech accelerator F10, and Indonesia-based investor Innovation Factory – the digitalization arm of Salim Group.

“We have built tremendous momentum over the past three months and are well positioned to ride the metaverse wave in 2022. More partnerships with leading gaming companies are in the pipeline,” said David Shin, head of global adoption at Klaytn.
