In a collaborative effort to enhance the Web 3.0 space in South Korea, Avalanche, Ava Labs and SK Planet have collaborated. As announced the collaboration will see SK Planet launch a dedicated Subnet; UPTN on the Avalanche network. The UPTN will serve as a Web 3.0 gateway for SK Planet users.
In the announcement, Avalanche described SK Planet as one of South Korea’s largest information and communications technology platforms. Meanwhile, the UPTN Subnet is designed to be the foundation for virtual collectibles, decentralized and communities.
Consequently, UPTN will intergrate into the SK Planet’s services such as OKcashbag (OCB). With the integration, the OCB community will enjoy seamless access to NFTs, special community features, and dynamic membership benefits supported by the Avalanche protocol.
