On February 15, the Klaytn Foundation and Finschia Foundation made history by announcing the successful merger of their respective blockchain networks. This game-changing decision marks the formation of Asia’s largest Web3 ecosystem, combining superior technologies, services, and business acumen from both entities.
The decision received 95% and 90% support from the Finschia and Klaytn communities, along with universal acceptance from both the holder and governance communities. The newly merged entity will oversee approximately 420 DApps and more than 45 governance member partners, solidifying its position as a leading force in the Asian blockchain industry.
The collaboration is more than just a technology merger. It is also a fusion of views, with the goal of catapulting Web3 into widespread acceptability throughout the continent.
A Collaborative Journey Towards Integration
Following the declaration of the merger proposal with overwhelming approval from both communities (95% for Finschia and 90% for Klaytn), a joint task force will be established to supervise the integration process. The new foundation, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, UAE, plans to introduce a unified governance structure and merge operating teams from both organizations. The merger will ensure the smooth running of the unified mainnet while also demonstrating a commitment to openness and fair representation.
Leadership will be shared equally by Finschia and Klaytn representatives, exemplifying a collaborative culture that promises to propel a new age of decentralized, integrated blockchain functionality that is compatible with EVM and CosmWasm.
Embracing New Tokenomics
A new native coin will replace KLAY and FNSA with all-new tokenomics, fostering greater transparency and inclusivity for the merged community. Governance powers are being extended, and more community members are being encouraged to take part in the foundation.
The combined organization is also committed to driving innovation in the Asian blockchain industry by establishing infrastructure to meet institutional expectations, introducing local stablecoins, and starting new commercial initiatives in partnership with key partners.
Driving Innovation in Asia’s Blockchain Sector
This cohesive organization aims to inspire innovation in the Asian blockchain market by supplying infrastructure to institutional investors, creating native stablecoins, and forming alliances with important industry figures for new projects. Young Ko, chairman of the Finschia Foundation Council, voiced his delight at the forthcoming merger and highlighted that before this union, there wasn’t a prominent blockchain network embodying the Asian market.
There was no one blockchain network that represented the Asian market, and the level of community participation had much to be desired
