Klaytn believes that the contributors who build and grow the platform with their interests aligned with the platform’s long-term development are the most qualified entities to undertake Klaytn governance.
Committed to generating long-term growth of Klaytn, Klaytn Governance Council is an alliance of multinational businesses and organizations, responsible for platform governance, consensus node operation, and ecosystem growth. The Council consists of 23 global top-tier companies that have successfully produced massive user-based popular services in various industry domains including IT, telecommunications, content, game, and finance.
They are also key business units of some of Asia’s largest conglomerates. Considering the region’s booming market with its strong drive towards blockchain implementation for new business models and the wider audience eager to embrace new technologies, the assembled alliance is expected to usher in a new era of blockchain through Klaytn. The geographic proximity among the participating Council members centered around Asia allows greater cross-border synergies and blockchain-based joint enterprises to occur among differing industries beyond the platform co-operation.
