Klaytn

The Klaytn and Finschia blockchains will merge following overwhelming support for the measure from governance members. The blockchains’ foundations plan to launch an integrated mainnet that will be Asia’s biggest Web3 ecosystem, they claim.&nbsp;
Governance members of South Korea-based Klaytn passed the merger proposal, with 90% of members voting in favor. At the Abu Dhabi-based Finschia, support reached 95%. The foundations will now set up a joint task committee to merge the chains and the foundations in the second quarter of the year. The transition is being <a href="https://vos.line-scdn.net/landpress-content-v2-ogautzqf79ax91l8h8icywfr/1707181527796.pdf?updatedAt=1707181527000" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">called</a> Project Dragon.
The merger was <a href="https://medium.com/klaytn/finschia-klaytn-chain-merge-proposal-our-vision-for-asias-1-blockchain-ecosystem-7de1588e28c0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">proposed</a> in January and was <a href="https://scan.blockchain.line.me/Finschia%20Mainnet/gov/22" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">rejected</a> by 99% in its first vote later that month. A new version of the proposal was <a href="https://www.finschia.network/disclosure/detail/390/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">introduced</a> on Feb. 5.
The integrated foundation will be based in Abu Dhabi and have an equal number of directors from both current chains. The new network will <a href="https://medium.com/klaytn/finschia-klaytn-chain-merge-proposal-our-vision-for-asias-1-blockchain-ecosystem-7de1588e28c0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">form</a> a large ecosystem:

</blockquote>
Governance members include Kakao, Binance and Quantstamp from the Klaytn side and SoftBank and CertiK from Finschia.
