Klaytn: The metaverse blockchain for all
Klaytn is an open-source public blockchain protocol launched in 2019, supported by Kakao, a South Korean internet company with 50 million+ users worldwide. The platform aims to revolutionize internet services and eliminate any barriers of existing blockchain technology that poses a hindrance to performance.
Klaytn serves as the fundamental trust layer for the metaverse, bringing together and empowering communities in the new world. It is currently undergoing global business expansion, led by the Klaytn Foundation, a non-profit organization that was established to accelerate global adoption and ecosystem maturity on Klaytn. Klaytn Foundation strives to make blockchain technologies accessible to every nook and corner of the world.

Throughput & transaction finality
Klaytn’s network can handle a massive number of transactions per second with better decentralization, while simultaneously maintaining 1-second deterministic finality which will never be reversed.
The Klaytn network supports 1 second block generation times and immediate finality. It has been shown to have one of the lowest average latency among blockchains. Klaytn aims to support 30,000 TPS in their upcoming upgrades.
Scalability & interoperability
Scalability is tuned through their customizable and deployable L2 solution, with technologies such as sharding or roll ups coming soon. Working with infrastructure partners such as Chainlink, Anyswap, Orbit Bridge, etc, allows the exchange and transfer of assets to be easier than ever before, empowering the partners’ ecosystems to flourish on Klaytn.
Ethereum Equivalence
EVM-based DApps can be easily boarded onto the Klaytn Network without any modifications. Klaytn’s technical stack, EVM & APIs, enables Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) and Klaytn Improvement Proposals (KIPs) to contribute to both ecosystems.
