PoC assesses the contribution level of all economic entities within the Klaytn ecosystem and provides KLAY token that corresponds to each entity’s level of contribution. KIR, on the other hand, is allocated for anybody committed to maintaining sustainable ecosystem growth through various activities such as platform research or community events.

Klaytn also features ‘KLAY BApp Partners’ whose blockchain-powered services use KLAY token for reward and payment. The users are able to earn KLAY and freely use them across diverse services.

In addition, ‘Crypto Sword & Magic’ of Nod Games, ‘Infinity Star’ of Node Brick, two of which are selected by the Korea-based blockchain accelerating program ‘Hashed Labs,’ along with ‘Crypto Fishing’ of MEMORY Inc., are utilizing KLAY for their game services.
