The Top 10 Klaytn Blockchain Applications for 2020

The Klaytn Blockchain was developed by the Blockchain unit (Ground X) of Korea’s top messaging platform Kakao. Klaytn is a public Blockchain platform that was launched in 2019. It combines the best features of both public Blockchains and private Blockchains through their hybrid design. Therefore, their aim is to drive mass adoption in Blockchain. In addition, they are partnering with many businesses to use their Blockchain services. Furthermore, the platform allows real-world applications of large scale to be produced immediately so that our end-users can make full use of services without much expertise in Blockchain or cryptocurrency.

Klaytn announced that its digital wallet called Klip will be embedded in KakaoTalk in early to mid-2020. Therefore, by the end of 2020, Klip will support KLAY-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and crypto-collectibles. In addition, KakaoTalk already has over 50 million users.

“We are committed to offering Blockchain services for a more mainstream audience, and together with the Council members, we have built an extensive and secure foundation for Blockchain services to flourish. We will continue to make progress toward our vision to be the first solution to bringing Blockchain experiences that flow seamlessly,” said Ground X CEO, Jason Han.

Klaytn is the Libra of Korea

Similar to Libra, the Klaytn Platform does not belong to the social media platform. Kakao does not own Klaytn. Rather it belongs to all the Klaytn Governance Council members. Therefore, the council is the one that makes all the decisions. Furthermore, Klaytn is currently ahead of Libra is that it has already proven to process a daily transaction volume of around 700,000. Therefore, to put this into context, Klaytn reached this number in less than a year. In addition, when you compare this to Ethereum which took over 4 years, you can understand why Klaytn is on the right track.
