[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Jang Hyun-guk, CEO of Wemade, expressed confidence in the blockchain mainnet 'Wemix 3.0,' stating that "Wemix 3.0 will become a platform for the digital economy."


On the 21st, CEO Jang told employees, "(Wemix 3.0) is a remarkable achievement made in less than 10 months since we realized that a mainnet is necessary to realize our vision for the digital economy, and that a stablecoin is needed for the cumulative growth of intuitive economic activities," adding, "I am grateful to all the employees who have been working tirelessly."


Wemade launched the blockchain mainnet ‘Wemix 3.0’ the day before, generating the genesis block (the first block) and officially activating the network.


CEO Jang said, "All economic activities in the world will progressively move onto the blockchain, and a massive digital economy will be built on the blockchain," adding, "Wemix 3.0 aims to be a mega ecosystem that embraces everything, applying technology bases such as tokens, NFTs, and DeFi to games, artworks, real estate, entertainment, sports, and new fields that do not yet exist, becoming a platform for the digital economy."


He continued, "Fortunately, we are currently the most advanced, working harder than anyone else, and possess resources to make the largest investments, so no one poses any threat to us," adding, "There is no 'competition' as strictly defined in game theory."


CEO Jang emphasized that 'cooperation' is necessary for Wemix 3.0 to fulfill its role as a platform. He said, "All game companies, all content companies, all companies engaged in economic activities, and even all blockchains are no longer our competitors," stressing, "We must become a platform that embraces all of them and turn them into partners."

Meanwhile, Wemade is conducting a migration process to convert the existing ‘Wemix Token’ into ‘Wemix Coin’ in coordination with various exchanges following the mainnet launch. The existing ‘Wemix Wallet’ application has been renamed ‘Play Wallet.’



On the 22nd, Wemade will issue ‘Wemix Dollar,’ a 100% reserve stablecoin combining price stability, recursion of native coins and stablecoins, and scalability, and will unveil the decentralized finance service ‘WemixFi.’ They also plan to consecutively introduce ‘Nile,’ a new economic platform combining non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations). The blockchain gaming platform currently in service, ‘Wemix Play,’ is preparing for connection to Wemix 3.0 and a revamp.
