Klaytn’s roadmap to
the metaverse

We’re rebuilding Klaytn into a metaverse-scale blockchain platform. Here’s the upgrades and changes we have planned for the next couple of years.

Technology

Support for Ethereum equivalence

The metaverse and Web3 will rely on coordination and open source standards. Ethereum equivalence offers a path for what is clearly emerging as the standard of many blockchain ecosystems—the EVM. To that end, Klaytn will be adopting the EVM specification by:

Making Klaytn’s technical stack equivalent, from an interfacing and execution perspective, to the existing Ethereum stack
Building on top of existing Ethereum clients and interfacing libraries to inherit any improvements made to their open-source codebases
Enabling Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) and Klaytn Improvement Proposals (KIPs) to contribute to both ecosystems

Scaling up through Service Chains

Klaytn uses a hub and spoke model as our scaling solution to maintain performance as our ecosystem grows. Our ‘spokes’, which we call Service Chains, can be tailored for individual dApp requirements, and just like other L2 solutions, they can be anchored to our main chain for greater security. We will be scaling up by:

Building support for Service Chain bridging to enable seamless interoperability between participants in our ecosystem
Sizing up our interoperable network with more Service Chains and supportive infrastructure
Implementing of nested Service Chains, allowing Service Chains to act as hubs for other Service Chains, exponentially increasing scalability

Consensus optimization

TPS improvements act as a performance multiplier in a hub and spoke architecture—that’s why we will be simultaneously working on the optimization of our consensus mechanism to boost the TPS of our chains.

Developer support

An open and developer-friendly environment

In line with our roots as an open source public blockchain project, we will be dedicating resources to create a stack of open source tools and platforms along with an end-to-end package for blockchain and metaverse developers to simplify onboarding.

Governance

Our shift towards decentralization

Decentralization is a core tenet of the metaverse and future economy. Klaytn firmly believes in this shared global vision and will be updating core elements of our governance strategy as part of our gradual move towards decentralization by:

Having 30% of our Governance Council comprising of DAOs—the organizations of the future—to create a DAO of DAOs to lead Klaytn's core development
Abolishing the Gini Coefficient in our voting algorithm to give DAOs in our Governance Council more influence as they grow
Shifting our Governance Council requirements to prioritize candidates that are committed to actively developing and growing the Klaytn ecosystem

Expanding our Governance Council

Beyond our governance changes, we will also be increasing the number of Governance Council members as part of our push towards greater decentralization of the Klaytn network.
