AhnLab Blockchain Company

South Korea's VASP-licensed wallet and custody infrastructure provider.

AhnLab Blockchain Company (ABC) is the blockchain subsidiary of AhnLab, South Korea's cybersecurity leader. Backed by strategic shareholders including SK Telecom and JB Financial Group, ABC operates as a regulated Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in South Korea - one of the world's most stringent digital asset regulatory environments.

We deliver enterprise-grade WaaS, MPC/HSM custody, and blockchain AML solutions for financial institutions entering the digital asset economy.

Core Solutions:

  • Cloud Wallet (Custody): Enterprise custody built on AhnLab's 30+ years of security expertise. Our MPC-based key management architecture supports the compliance requirements of Korean financial institutions, providing institutional-grade asset safekeeping designed for regulatory alignment.
  • Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS): Non-custodial, multi-chain wallet infrastructure with API-first architecture and MPC-based key management, enabling partners to embed secure wallet functionality into their own platforms without building from scratch. Supports stablecoins and other major digital assets across multiple chains.
  • Klip Wallet: A KYC-verified consumer wallet with 2.4M+ users, providing a proven distribution channel for B2B2C stablecoin and digital asset use cases in the Korean market.
  • BICScan (Blockchain Intelligence): AI-powered blockchain transaction monitoring. BICScan provides real-time risk scoring for wallet addresses, smart contracts, and DApp URLs.

Why Partner with ABC:

We sit at the intersection of security, regulation, and infrastructure. As a VASP-licensed entity with AhnLab's cybersecurity DNA, we offer a trust layer that exchange-affiliated custodians cannot replicate. Our positioning as a neutral, exchange-independent infrastructure provider makes us a natural integration partner for financial institutions seeking compliant stablecoin settlement, cross-border payment rails, and digital asset custody in the Korean market.

We are actively building payment and settlement infrastructure for Korean financial institutions and cross-border commerce, and welcome collaboration with ecosystem members exploring the Korean and broader APAC market.

Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) For Enterprise Partners

ABC's WaaS provides non-custodial, multi-chain wallet infrastructure with MPC-based key management, delivered as an API-first platform. Enterprise partners - including payment gateways and fintech platforms - integrate ABC's WaaS to offer branded digital wallet functionality supporting stablecoins and other major assets without building or maintaining blockchain infrastructure themselves. ABC is currently providing WaaS infrastructure to B2B partners including cross-border payment service providers operating in the Korean market.
