Klaytn基金会

2023年4月8日

Klaytn总监Sam Seo在首尔的办公室接受了《韩国时报》的采访。Klaytn基金会总监Sam Seo在最近的一次采访中表示，Klaytn是由韩国最大的移动平台运营商Kakao开发的开源公共区块链，正在寻求成为一个更多功能的公共主网，用于包括游戏、不可替代代币(NFT)和元宇宙等领域。“我们的首要目标是以更可持续的方式继续完善区块链网络，让更多的人使用我们响应速度快、佣金低的平台。”Klaytn于2019年首次亮相，在起步阶段由Kakao的区块链子公司Ground X运营。去年早些时候，Kakao的业务被转移到Kakao的新加坡子公司Krust，后来Klaytn Foundation最近获得了Klaytn的管理权。区块链网络凭借其实用性在过去四年中提高了知名度，尤其是在亚洲。但是Klaytn在美国和欧洲仍然鲜为人知。他说:“我们的业务是从Kakao开始的一个项目，后来它已经发展成为国内外广泛使用的主要区块链。”“Klaytn不仅用于加密货币，还用于其他未来的金融业务和国家项目，比如央行数字货币(CBDC)。”2021年，韩国银行指定Ground X为CBDC试点测试的合作伙伴。 Late last year, Klaytn proved its security as a backbone blockchain operating the CBDC system. "Few global teams operate such a project with a central bank, but the BOK has been testing CBDC operations with Klaytn," Seo said. Seo also shared his views on the blockchain regulatory environment in Korea. "Korea needs to build an environment of negative regulations just like other tech-savvy countries such as the United States and Singapore," Seo said. "Developers can try new projects more freely in a less regulated environment, but this is not the case for Korea which adopts a positive regulatory system. Under the environment, our creative mindset will be restricted." However, he pointed out that Korean financial authorities are also catching up with the global paradigm as shown by its recent effort to allow security token transactions. "Korean regulators are also sincerely discussing such issues as security token issuance and enactment of a basic digital asset law ― which industry players speak highly of," he said. The logo of Klaytn Roadmap for Klaytn Seo went on to say that the blockchain will keep expanding its footing into games, NFT and metaverse applications and widen its use for more tech players. "There are a number of game publishers partnering with Klaytn Governance Council, which includes Netmarble and Neoply," he said. "Regarding NFTs, we expect more companies to use Klaytn in people's day-to-day activities. NFT artworks were all the rage recently, but NFTs can be used much more braodly, such as for the issuance of discount coupons or membership services. We do not target a specific NFT area, but want to catch up with the overall spectrum of the emerging market." Klaytn is operating Another World, a metaverse platform powered by the Klaytn blockchain. Seo said it plans to open a social platform used for communication among Klaytn users sometime in the latter half of 2023. Partners of Klaytn Governance Council / Courtesy of Klaytn Klaytn also expressed its confidence in overcoming the ongoing crypto winter. "We expect the overall crypto market to achieve rebound sometime as early as the second half of this year," he said. "Given the macroeconomic cycle, monetary authorities here and abroad typically enter the cycle of rate hikes for around two years, and vice versa for the next two years." The remark reflected growing hopes for the U.S. Fed to end its cycle of monetary tightening soon. "It is hard for any blockchain projects or teams to overcome the crypto winter unless they display clear vision," he said. Klaytn is issuing its own cryptocurrency ― KLAY ― which showed weak price performance after soaring to a historic high of $4 in March 2021 when the market was in a bullish cycle. "We will focus on building a 'sustainable' blockchain ecosystem by generating more sales," he said. "Klaytn expects the usage of KLAY to widen down the road with our clear blockchain roadmap."
