Kakao’s subsidiary Ground X plans to make available more than 20 blockchain services by September. The combined global users of Ground X partners are 400 million.

In a press conference Tuesday in Seoul, Ground X CEO Han Jae-sun unveiled its third-batch of blockchain partners from Japan, Canada, China, Argentina, the Netherlands, and Ireland.

These foreign partners provide blockchain services on ticketing, game, bicycle sharing, digital marketing, social dating, payment settlement, and health care.

Klaytn has earlier partnered with 17 service providers, and with nine more partners joining Klaytn this time, a total of 26 initial service partners are participating in the Klaytn ecosystem.

Ground X would not adopt a completely decentralized App (DApp). Instead, it would take a blockchain App (BApp), halfway between centralization and decentralization.

The CEO said its blockchain project Klaytn comprised three core partner groups—governance council, investors and initial service partners.

The governance council partners are companies in running Klaytn nodes. They are mostly big enterprises of which sales would be equal to Kakao, he said.

The BApp partners would also join as a governance member. He said Ground X would unveil the governance council members when its main net makes an official debut.

Ground X also secured 20 global partners, including Crescendo Equity Partners, and Translink Capital.

Klaytn public ‘testnet’ ‘Baobab’ would be available on March 29, and its main net will debut in late June.
