Sam Seo, director of the Klaytn Foundation, argues that the success of the metaverse will be easier if Web2 companies can blend technology with their products and services.
Sam Seo, who attended Korean Blockchain Week (KBW) on August 8, said in an interview that Web3 and metaverse projects often appeal to the mainstream because people who aren’t particularly relevant are hesitant to use services and technologies they’ve just heard of.

The blockchain and metaverse industry has been growing rapidly in recent years. The sector, which has accelerated its development with new companies making significant investments in this field, has brought many question marks with it. Sam Seo, director of the Klaytn Foundation, thinks that an important part of this development can come with the support of Web2. In a statement on the subject, Seo made the following statements:
While challenging, adapting Web3 technologies to Web2 platforms can be a way to drive mass adoption. These new ideas for new services will be easier than starting from scratch, especially if new ideas are combined with Web2 platforms such as Kakao, the social media app in South Korea.
Klaytn’s blockchain specifically covers metaverse, GameFi, and creative economy applications. This is one of the largest examples of projects in South Korea. In his speech at KBW, Seo said,
We are smart enough to know that people will be hesitant to use this technology because they will have to pay a price after all. That’s why we work to keep gas prices as low as possible. So we can make it easier for people to enter this space. This is our opinion and that is why we strive for it.
Seo also revealed that Klaytn will release an open-source Metaverse suite later this year that includes tools for developers to promote development on the blockchain.
