Klaytn is a public blockchain project launched by Kakao, one of the largest publicly traded tech companies in South Korea, through their blockchain division GroundX, in June 2019. It has been created to offer a simple, user-friendly experience to maximize the adoption of blockchain technology. The platform is being supported by many reliable brands and institutional investors like Wemade Tree, Piction Network and Humanspace, who are looking to develop a robust platform based on decentralized trust between the parties involved in the network.
What is Klaytn?
Klaytn is a decentralized, open source blockchain project that aims to provide a safe, reliable, and convenient platform for blockchain transactions. The platform has been designed in such a way that the users can operate the Klaytn ecosystem as an individual, and the blockchain can be used to assist them in securing personal data and making transactions, which has never been done in blockchain before.
The blockchain technology is equipped with a powerful database management tool that is designed to be compatible with the existing data storage and transactions systems. It has been reported that the Klaytn platform will contain about 3,000,000,000,000 byte and 10-thousand transactions per second, while the entire Bitcoin blockchain only serves a single transaction per second.

Its activities include exchange, payments, research and development, project incubation, and business development. GroundX's mission is to develop applications that people use every day. They aim to achieve this by developing a streamlined and easy-to-use environment for developing and deploying decentralized applications (dApps).
The GroundX team is led by Co-CEO Ki-jin Kim.

Conclusion

Klaytn's main purpose is to offer a safe, secure, and convenient user experience to everyone, whether a business, individual, startup or institution, so that they can enjoy the benefits of this novel technology without worrying about security.
