Purpose of Establishment
The internet revolutionized information; now, blockchain is poised to revolutionize assets.
Our mission is to lead this transformation by advancing blockchain technology, shaping relevant laws and regulations, and supporting startups through innovative business model development.
We aim to foster collaboration through workshops and seminars with researchers and companies, and conduct joint research projects with industry partners.
Recognizing the negative perception of blockchain in our country due to its association with Bitcoin, we are committed to improving the industry's image through strategic policy and institutional reforms.
Our institute strives to be a central hub for both academic research and the business sector, promoting the growth of the entire blockchain ecosystem
