South Korea’s largest telecom provider will launch an open platform and crypto-economic system for Ifland. Furthermore, in the second half of the year, the company plans to expand its Ifland metaverse to 80 countries.
The South Korean government and other local businesses support SK Telecom’s metaverse aims.
After a successful launch in Germany, the company may expand into other European countries.
According to the source, SK Telecom reported good earnings in the first quarter, with the Ifland metaverse seeing an average of 1.35 million users in March.
According to Yang Maeng-Seok, head of SK Telecom’s Metaverse, the Ifland metaverse might serve as a new means of communication and community meetings.
