Canton Foundation and LG CNS have formed a strategic partnership to support institutional adoption of the Canton Network in South Korea, with a focus on working with the country's financial institutions.
They will jointly pursue opportunities with Korean institutions, build the technical foundations for Canton implementations and help expand a broader network of technical partners around the platform.
The effort combines Canton Foundation's existing network of financial institutions and market participants with LG CNS's long-standing presence in South Korea's financial technology and systems market.
LG CNS said it has worked on blockchain-based financial business in Korea since 2015. Its projects have included infrastructure for blockchain-based electronic securities and systems linked to digital assets, including central bank digital currencies, tokenised deposits, security tokens and stablecoins, as well as digital wallets and know-your-customer systems for financial institutions.
It also said it has spent more than 30 years developing and operating core systems for commercial banks, securities firms, credit card groups and insurers in the country.
The partnership will focus on three main areas. The first is institutional market development, with the two groups planning to engage financial institutions and other market participants in Korea to identify use cases and potential projects tied to Canton.
The second is technical enablement and implementation, covering technical support, architecture and implementation requirements for institutions and enterprises considering the network.
The third is the development of a broader technical partner ecosystem. Under this work, LG CNS will contribute technical and implementation expertise as Canton Foundation builds a wider partner framework to support institutional use of the network.
