Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, and global blockchain ecosystem, is going to participate in the Klaytn Governance Council and consensus node operation.
Developed by Ground X, Kakao’s blockchain arm, Klaytn is a public blockchain platform (of South Korea), whose mainnet launched in June 2019.
Today, it has been announced by Klaytn, the leading blockchain project led by Kakao, that Binance has joined the Klaytn Governance Council to partake in the platform’s blockchain operation to further developments in bringing mass blockchain adoption globally.
By undertaking the Klaytn platform ownership, the Council members function as key decision-makers for Klaytn’s business and technical developments, including the consensus node network operation dedicated to advancing blockchain utility.
CZ, CEO of Binance, has tweeted:
