Klaytn’s Ignite On Klaytn (IOK) program, launched last August, offers an avenue for new DApp projects to access the platform and technology capabilities of Klaytn’s ecosystem partners. The initiative aims to empower these projects to firmly establish their presence in both the Asian and global markets.
The IOK program encompasses collaboration across 11 key project areas, including Wallets, Game-Fi Tools, On-chain Data Ranking, Marketing, Oracle, Acceleration, Development Outsourcing, NFT Marketplace, DeFi Services, Security Tools, and API Nodes. Beyond these, the IOK program also shares strategic insights for localization in the rapidly growing Web3 gaming industry in Asia and know-how in user acquisition. All to bolster the success of DApp projects operating on Klaytn Mainnet.
We’re excited to introduce companies onboarding the IOK program periodically on Klaytn’s official blog and social channels. If you are interested in joining the IOK program, please visit this page for more details and application processes.
About AhnLab Blockchain Company(ABC)
AhnLab Blockchain Company (ABC) was founded in April 2022 and is a 20-person team centered on highly skilled professionals in the cybersecurity industry, as it is an offshoot of AhnLab. The company aims to provide a Web3 experience that is free from boundaries and restrictions, and based on AhnLab’s heritage, ABC Wallet is a secure and convenient MPC-based non-custodial wallet.
ABC Wallet supports multi-chain and provides core functions such as MPC, non-custodial management, and NFT management in six languages. This allows global end-users to integrate Web3 wallets into the platform in a secure environment. In particular, ABC Wallet offers the highest level of security in the industry by providing third-party key sharing and management technology, and strong protection against key loss and hacking.
Through this partnership with Klaytn, ABC is expected to promote the popularization of Web3 wallets by providing a simple wallet experience based on strong security. In particular, it is optimized for various applications such as Web3 games, NFT marketplaces, metaverses, DeFi, and social community platforms, providing a seamless user experience for end-users. In addition to end-users, it provides a simple integration process using the SDK to help enterprises implement non-custodial wallets based on Multi-Party Computation (MPC). Meanwhile, ABC is also preparing a Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) product.
As such, the partnership is expected to make it easier for Klaytn ecosystem dApps to enjoy the robust security of ABC Wallet. As we aim to build a safer and stronger blockchain ecosystem for everyone by advancing the blockchain infrastructure through advanced technologies such as security intelligence, NFTs, SBT, and WaaS, we will contribute to further solidifying the infrastructure of the Klaytn ecosystem.
