SORAMITSU Partners with Klaytn for the Ignite on Klaytn Program

→ Klaytn onboards its trusted technology partner SORAMITSU to the Ignite on Klaytn program that will provide technical, economic, and business support for potential dApp builders to bring their creations to life on the Klaytn network.

SORAMITSU is happy to announce it is participating in the Ignite on Klaytn Program as a partner, providing support to potential dApp builders. Partners in this program have a wide array of expertise within web3, ranging from wallets, security, GameFi, on-chain data, oracles, DeFi services and NFT marketplaces, to security, marketing and community building, development outsourcing, infrastructure and acceleration incubation.

This will make the program a one-stop for all the needs a team may have and allow them to focus on product development while key industry players provide their support through the aforementioned areas of expertise. Each participating team will also have access to at least two options per category, providing more flexibility and choice.

Having collaborated with the Klaytn ecosystem to build the open-source decentralised exchange SDK for builders within Klaytn, SORAMITSU is a prime candidate to participate as a partner supporting developers in making their ideas a reality. For the purpose of this program, SORAMITSU will be providing DeFi service and development outsourcing support.

Participants in the Ignite on Klaytn program will be able to harness SORAMITSU's experience as a trusted technology partner for technical, economic, and business support to make their ideas a reality and enrich the Klaytn ecosystem with dApps built for and by the community.
