The aim is to integrate blockchain-based services from various blockchain mainnets onto a single platform at the city level and develop Busan into a blockchain city.


Busan City has allocated a 100-billion-Korean-won ($75 million) budget for open blockchain development compatible with global standards under the Blockchain Innovation Fund (BIF). The funds will be raised through investments from public financial institutions in Busan, with nearly 100 private companies showing interest. The BIF is a private fund that supports the development of Busan’s blockchain industry and infrastructure construction, led by financial and public institutions in Busan.

The official announcement noted that Busan City has been actively testing various use cases of blockchain technology in its trade-free zone; however, most of these projects were carried out on different blockchains, resulting in an “uncomfortable” experience for businesses. This was one of the key reasons for the city administration to zero in on a public blockchain at the city level that is compatible with global blockchain networks such as Ethereum.

Busan City is also involved in the process of establishing the Blockchain Trust Framework technology standard conducted by the Korea Internet & Security Agency.


The project aims to improve the quality of private services and encourage interconnection between services by presenting requirements such as blockchain technical system, performance and security level. The standard will also be utilized for public services within Busan City.


The long-term blockchain development plan also includes the development of the Busan digital asset exchange in the first half of 2024. The digital exchange will not only list digital assets but also tokenized securities, including precious metals and raw materials, such as gold, copper and oil. In the future, the administration behind the projects aims to tokenize and trade global intellectual property rights and carbon emissions rights.
