‍Background

On-chain finance, including stablecoins, is gaining attention as a new option for enhancing existing financial infrastructure across payments, remittances, asset management, and other areas.

At the same time, for companies and financial institutions to make full use of on-chain finance, governance, security, and compliance measures suited to enterprise use are essential. These include internal governance, privacy of on-chain transaction information, and audit readiness.

Datachain has been working on the social implementation of blockchain technology through collaborations with financial institutions, payment service providers, and Web3 companies. Through its exhibition at WebX 2026, Datachain will present the value of Datachain Wallet and KuraPrivacy as infrastructure that enables enterprises to use on-chain finance safely and practically.
