We’re proud to announce that Klaytn is once again featured in the Forbes Blockchain Top 50! The list represents enterprises embracing blockchain technology to speed up business processes, increase transparency, and reduce operational and transactional costs.
This makes it the second year running that Kakao is featured on the list. This year, Forbes highlighted the ease of user accessibility via the integration between the KakaoTalk mobile messenger application, its built in Klip wallet, and Klip Drops, the NFT marketplace, and how these work together to provide a frictionless tokenized creator economy journey on the Klaytn blockchain. Amassing close to 1 million users within a year, Klaytn has shown how the Web 3 can be easily accessed by users with the right infrastructure and integration know-how in place.
This year’s list also further reinforces the trend of enterprise blockchain adoption that was seen in 2021, with more companies on the list deploying blockchain technology for real use cases rather than simply adopting bitcoin.
“Interestingly, most companies on the 2021 Blockchain 50 are not actually bitcoin speculators, but instead are looking for innovative ways to employ the technology underlying the cryptocurrency.”
