According to Aju Business Daily, Viva Republica (Toss) announced on the 8th that it has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Optimism (OP) and Sunnyside Labs to explore the possibility of developing a KRW-pegged stablecoin. Through this, Toss will embark on verifying next-generation digital financial infrastructure, including KRW-based stablecoins. The goal is to establish a blockchain-based payment and settlement environment that meets the security and regulatory requirements of institutional finance. The three companies will conduct a Proof of Concept (PoC) for the next three months, reviewing whether Optimism's core technology, 'OP Stack,' can be applied to Korea's blockchain-based digital financial infrastructure.
