Klaytn Price

Klaytn is a public blockchain project launched by Kakao, one of the largest publicly traded tech companies in South Korea, through their blockchain division GroundX, in June 2019.

It has been created to offer a simple, user-friendly experience to maximise the adoption of blockchain technology, making the user experience like the one we have on websites and mobile apps, where the technology making it all possible is invisible to the user.

The platform itself is a hybrid solution that tries to leverage the best qualities of both public and private blockchains: public blockchains shine when it comes to distributed governance and decentralized data, while private chains offer low latency and higher scalability.

It is being supported by many reliable brands and institutional investors like Wemade Tree, Piction Network and Humanspace, who are looking to develop a robust platform based on decentralized trust between the parties involved in the network.

Klaytn’s goal is to make blockchain-powered decentralized solutions accessible to everybody, from entrepreneurs and small start-ups to big enterprises, without the need to have specialized knowledge about the technology itself.

The Klaytn network is structured in order to follow 4 main mechanisms:

• Proof of Contribution (PoC)
• Byzantine Fault-Tolerance (BFT)
• EP (Enterprise Proxy)
• Verifiable Random Function (VRF)

The Proof-of-Contribution (PoC) is designed to compensate the participants in the KLAY economy that contribute to the network.

In order to mitigate some of the limitations of Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake, the Klaytn project based their network on a version of an Istanbul BFT, which implements Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT).

It allows nodes to communicate safely across the network, and consensus is reached when the nodes achieve a unanimous agreement.

Then there is the Enterprise Proxy, which is an off-chain proxy that allows the integration of the Klaytn blockchain with traditional databases and security systems and reduces the technical difficulties that slow down blockchain adoption.

Lastly, there is the Verifiable Random Function, which enables users to choose a random subset of nodes while proving that the selection is indeed correct.

You can take a closer look at the Klaytn network design in their introduction guide.

You can purchase the KLAY coin on different cryptocurrency exchanges. Some popular exchanges that list KLAY are OKEx, Gate.io and Bittrex. 

Remember that not all exchanges allow direct trades with fiat money. In that case, you can purchase KLAY with BTC or with a stable coin such as USDT.

Sometimes you can exchange your KLAY tokens directly to fiat money like USD or EUR. If that is not an option on your exchange, you can trade them for BTC or other cryptocurrencies and then cash those in for EUR, USD or other fiat currencies.

The top exchanges for trading in Klaytn are currently OKEx, Gate.io, Bittrex and Coinone.

There are different factors involved in the success or failure of a project in this industry, that’s why it is really hard to definitely say if KLAY is a good investment.

As of , KLAY is , with a market capitalisation of $.

You should first look at your investment strategy: you need to follow it and keep your portfolio balanced with all the other assets you have. Consider your budget, your risk tolerance and how a purchase would affect your portfolio based on the criteria you have determined for it.

Then study the project, read the whitepaper and multiple independent sources in order to get a strong understanding. Then, you can decide if the project has strong future growth potential based on its utility.

It actually depends on your strategy. If you think that there is a possibility for a future increase in the price, it can be a good time (if you look at the investment from a long-term perspective). If you just want to trade it, it is hard to tell, because the crypto market is highly volatile and timing the market is very difficult.

The value of each cryptocurrency is determined by supply and demand. If demand keeps increasing, then KLAYs coins will increase their value, whereas if demand decreases they become less valuable and consequently price decreases.

Right now, one KLAY is worth $.

Yes, you can invest $50 in KLAY. KLAY is divisible, meaning that you can buy less than one full KLAY.

Exchanges work by pairing sellers and buyers that want to make a trade, balancing the demand side and supply side of the market.

If you want to buy KLAY, the exchange will match your bid with someone who wants to exchange their KLAY for your currency. The exchange will usually take a fee for pairing bids and asks in the market and make the trade possible.

New KLAY coins are issued when a new block is created. The new KLAY coins that are created and all the transaction fees used in the block (which is called “block reward”) are merged and distributed in the percentages you can see below:

• 34% of the reward goes to the Klaytn Governance Council Reward
• 54% of the reward goes to the Proof of Contribution (PoC) consensus
• 12% of the reward goes to destined for the Klaytn Improvement Reserve (KIR)

You can learn more about it in the token economy section of the Klaytn website.

Currently, there is a circulating supply of KLAY coins, although there is not a predetermined maximum supply.

The project itself has been created to facilitate the adoption of blockchain technology, trying to solve the limitations that impede adoption:

• Difficulty of use
• Poor user experience
• Uncertain sustainability

So if you are looking for a solution that is looking to overcome these limitations, maybe Klaytn could be a good solution for your needs.

You can keep KLAY tokens on exchanges, but this isn’t a very safe way of going about things.
If you want to be safer, you can store your KLAY tokens in the Klaytn Wallet or the D’CENT Wallet.
