We officially launched our global Blockchain-as-a-Service, KAS to empower enterprises and developers to easily build and operate blockchain services. KAS, short for Klaytn API Service, is the Blockchain-as-a-Service to utilize Klaytn, the public blockchain platform developed by Ground X. KAS provides a set of Application Programming Interfaces that streamline the process of building and operating blockchain applications in a cloud environment. Developers can use the Klaytn network without installing a separate node. They can also reduce development cost and period.

Ground X’s BaaS features the following APIs:

  • Klaytn Node API that can store and browse blockchain data in the Klaytn network without installing the Klaytn Endpoint Node
  • Token History API that handily browses and confirms token information and transaction details
  • Wallet API that can easily implement a blockchain wallet to manage accounts, transactions, and personal keys, with the help of Ground X’s uniquely developed Key Management System
  • Anchor API that improves data stability and transparency by regularly saving private blockchain data on the Klaytn mainnet.

Aimed at speeding and simplifying enterprises’ journey to using Klaytn, KAS can be utilized across all industries, catering to a wide range of audiences, from micro startups to enterprise divisions. With KAS, developers can build applications that can meet the needs of various sectors including finance, security, games, and more.

Further, customers can benefit from zero transaction fees, which are instead covered by us Klaytn on behalf of all developers and service providers that run applications on Klaytn. In this way, developers would be able to deploy or execute smart contracts at no cost.

We also released its technical documentations. The newly updated KAS Docs and Klaytn Docs explain guides and tools with tutorials, with a mission to help developers easily use and adapt to Klaytn.
