Neopin, a blockchain subsidiary of South Korea’s mid-tier game publisher Neowiz, plans to introduce multi-chain services supporting multiple blockchains by June next year in a move to advance into global decentralized finance (DeFi) market and join the race by Korean game publishers for hegemony in blockchain-based ecosystem

Under 2022 Neopin Strategy announced Thursday, Neopin will introduce multi-chain services that support multiple blockchains including Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Cosmos, and Polygon by the end of June next year in addition to Ethereum, Klaytn, and Tron chains.
