Klaytn is a service-centric blockchain platform that seeks to trigger the mass adoption of the blockchain experience for millions of users worldwide. Combining both public and private blockchains, Klaytn can be classified as a hybrid blockchain.

To reach its ambitious goal of boosting adoption rates, Klaytn’s focus lies in empowering businesses and entrepreneurs to offer Blockchain Applications (BApps) with responsiveness, robustness, and usability.

Since the launch of the Klaytn mainnet in June 2019, the project has worked with numerous projects in different sectors to provide the best blockchain experience to their users. So, how has Klaytn performed recently?

Recent Developments

As a project that aims to foster blockchain adoption, Klaytn has done a good job of keeping up with the trends in the industry. From evolving into a cross-chain project, to launching other projects and supporting NFTs, Klaytn is building an ecosystem that spreads across virtually all aspects of cryptocurrencies.

One area in which Klaytn has experienced recent successes is its NFT marketplace. For example, only two days after the release of KlayDogesFriend, an NFT project that is officially registered in Klaytn Scope, it already ranked 3rd in the world’s largest NFT market, OpenSea.

DogeSoundClub, a social gathering of NFT collectors, operated using NFT-based governance, is currently ranked as the biggest NFT project on Klaytn.

Klaytn recently announced a partnership with Covalent, the leading provider of indexing solutions for blockchains. The integration increases the availability of data on Klaytn and simplifies the experience for developers.

The data set of Covalent currently supports 25 billion transactions, 30K+ price feeds, and 200+ smart contracts for querying. As a result, developers on Klaytn now have access to reliable, high-quality data.

XSwap, a cross-chain swap aggregator platform, has also announced integration for Klyatn (KLAY). Klaytn now joins Polygon, Tron, the Binance Smart Chain, HashCoin, and Ethereum VM Chains on XSwap.

Future Events

On its journey towards boosting blockchain adoption, Klaytn has become a multi-chain network, allowing for the launch of both private and public blockchains that are easy to configure.

Klaytn announced that Fleta, a project that offers high speed and unlimited scalability, including the Gateway System, will be integrated in the Klaytn Mainnet. The integration is expected to expand both ecosystems. While the integration date is yet to be revealed, KLAYswap users will be able to utilize Fleta Connect, per the announcement.

Community

Although Klaytn is a growing project, it has an active community of users, developers, and investors. Following its Binance Launchpool, the community now farms KLAY tokens by staking their BNB and BUSD.

Klaytn, like most crypto projects, retains Twitter as its major centre of communication. However, there are also global Reddit, Github, and Facebook channels. With Klaytn’s NFT marketplace expanding, @JohnCho__ wrote on Twitter;
